I did it!  I did my first “real world” presentation this morning at the Triad Developers Conference in Winston-Salem.  What I mean by “real world” is not a PASS audience.  These were total strangers off the street that I didn’t know, well, there were some familiar faces and even a friend or two, but for the most part total and complete strangers that had varying backgrounds, not all technical in nature.

The feedback I received was very positive and even helpful, so I can make this presentation even better when I present it in Richmond, VA next weekend at SQL Saturday #610.

Huge thank you goes out to the organizers, volunteers and sponsors who made this event happen.  And a special thank you goes out to Doug Purnell (Blog | Twitter) for recommending me in the first place.
