What to talk about

...if you have only five minutes?

The Challenge

• Wait... he is not talking about coffee?

• But everyone expected a talk about coffee!

• Okay, some people might have expected Zig.

• ...or Rust!

Types of Five-Minute Presentations

• FINE! Here are some interesting facts about coffee.
  • Coffee is the Number 1 source of antioxidants - same for Decaf
  • Studies show, coffee raises alertness, improves mood and performance
  • Coffee can help to ease headaches
  • Coffee can help protect your skin - thanks to the antioxidants
  • Coffee does not interfere with calcium absorption - that is a common misconception

Effective Topics for Short Presentations

• Learned enough about coffee?
• What about Zig? Let me show you some Zig!

const ally = std.testing.allocator;
var list = std.ArrayList(u32).init(ally);
defer list.deinit();

var it = std.mem.tokenizeAny(u8, input, " ,");
while (it.next()) |num| {
    const n = try parseInt(u32, num, 10);
    try list.append(n);
}

const expected = [_]u32{ 123, 67, 89, 99 };

for (expected, list.items) |exp, actual| {
    try std.testing.expectEqual(exp, actual);
}

Structure and Delivery Tips

• Oh wow, that code was just copied from the ziglang.org frontpage!
• How lazy!
• We don't even know what it does!
• But there is probably not enough time to explain it, anyway!

Examples and Conclusion

• The Most Important Lession I've Learned

...is that five minutes is short and long!

• One Technology That Will Change Everything

We all know, it is Zig!

• Why $CommonBelief Is Wrong

Salt, in small amounts, is actually making coffee taste better.

It's true.
