presentations

I give occasional presentations for PDXScala and tech conferences. I'm pretty light on slides and heavy on talking and waving my arms around, so you may find the content puzzling. Yet people ask for slides so here they are.

Some of the slides done in remark have speaker notes, which you can toggle by pressing the p key.
