My presentation at SkillSwap seemed to go down well and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I’ve posted the slides to SlideShare but a few of the screenshots have been mangled and the embedded version here only shows about half of what it’s supposed to. The good folk at SlideShare are investigating, apparently. There will be audio at some point too, I’m told.
A few people asked for the links I listed at the end so here they are in full:
