how to defeat stage fright by Heiko HarthunIntroductionwww.heikoharthun.dewww.arge-zeiten.de
Heiko provides courses for developers to presentate themself as also the product on conventions/trade shows/exhibitions.
He helps if the communication between developers and management (e.g. in the scrum retrospective) is not working anymore.
general
Only thing that helps against stage fright is moving around. It is also the only thing that helps effective.
You should eat enough before you are going to present something. Try to eat energy rich things like nuts, bread, less sugar, things that contains L-Tyrosin and L-Tryptophan.
body hack
Autogenic training or meditation can help but they are helping after you have practised them for a long time (six months or more).
Also going to sport (more the once per month ;-)) is helping to keep the level of adrenalin low.
brain hack
Try to create a solution/fallback for each problem that can occur. Things that can occur are "Questions inbetween", "fear for own existence", "nemesis in the crowd", "lose of the face", "blind spot", "blackout", "lose the thread" or "uninteded lauchter".
The major answer is "what do i fear" and "why do i care to come into this situation".
Try to have a fallback also for general problems (hardware is missing, hardware breaks down etc.).
A solution can be, to listen on favorite music right before you start your presentation.

Compare notes about PHP UnitTest Workshop by Agata Raap and Frank Sonsgeneral
Introduce unittesting in already existing and complicate to test source code is hard.
Try to do a workshop by using already existing code to introduce into the topic "unittest".
First write a unittest that covers know behaviors and after that, refactor the code.
How can we test old code (with dependencies, strong coupling)?
Keep current methods and exclude them into new methods. This new methods are testable by dependency injections or something similar.
Always start and demonstrate unittest with simple examples.
best practice (ask round)
Getter setter testing?
Code coverage - what does is tell?
Is static code untestable?
Should you test controllers?
This notes are a little bit late (yes i know ;-)) but free time is something that it is currently a kind of unreachable wish.
I run into a lot of trouble when i try to compile and want to run the current state of zfsonlinux. I tried a lot and by spending more time then expected and doing configurations/script adaptations i real don't understand 100 percent, i was able to keep things running. Nevertheless, i am happy that the aur package from zfsonlinux is updated a few hours ago.
While writing, i have finished the building and now my zfs is up and running smoothly :-).
Thanks again to the team of zfsonlinux.org and also to the aur package maintainer demizer (including every member of his team) by providing this easy way of using this great filesystem on linux.
Not perfectly matching but also worth a look, at the EuroBSDcon, there was a session about "tuning ZFS on FreeBSD". It is FreeBSD but take some minutes and take a look at the slides. The more you know about zfs, the more you can handle it (and praise a bit to the r.i.p. company sun of course).
Ob bei Nebeneinkünften, Parteispenden, Sponsoring oder dem Drehtüreffekt – mehr Transparenz und Regeln zur Lobbykontrolle sind mit dem derzeitigen Bundestag nicht zu machen. Nachdem sich in den vergangenen Wochen alle Parteien mit Beteuerungen, sich für mehr Transparenz einsetzen zu wollen, geradezu überboten, wurden entsprechende Anträge gestern von Schwarz-Gelb klar abgelehnt. SPD, Grüne und Linke hatten gleich mehrere Anträge eingebracht, die zum Teil zu erheblichen Fortschritten bei der Begrenzung von Lobbyeinflüssen auf die Politik geführt hätten.
[...]
Insgesamt zeigte sich, dass der Wille der schwarz-gelben Koalition zu mehr Transparenz und Lobbyregulierung sehr schwach ist. Bei der Ablehnung der Anträge folgte das Plenum des Bundestags einer Beschlussempfehlung des Innenausschusses, die sich folgendermaßen zusammenfassen lässt: “Nein, nein und nochmals nein!”

Natürlich würden Rot/Grün (scheinbar geht ja nur Schwarz/Gelb oder Rot/Grün, quasi Esel oder Elefant ;-)) genau so reagieren, wenn CDU/CSU/FDP dies fordern würden .
Man hätte natürlich mehr zu Lachen, wenn es die FDP fördern würde :-D.
Wie dem auch sei, es ist eine Frechheit, dass ich bisher keinen Kommentar eines Politikers gefunden habe, der seine Abstimmung wenigst versucht hat zu begründen.
Nach einem Bericht der Financial Times Deutschland macht Bundestagspräsident Norbert Lammert (CDU) jetzt Dampf in Sachen Abgeordnetenbestechung. In einem Positionspapier, das Lammert an die Parlamentarischen Geschäftsführer der Bundestagsfraktionen verschickt habe, rege der CDU-Politiker eine Verschärfung des Paragrafen 108e im Strafgesetzbuch zum Verbot der Abgeordnetenbestechung an. Diese ist nötig, damit Deutschland endlich die UN-Konvention gegen Korruption (UNCAC) ratifizieren kann.
