Give a great first technical talk - Table of Contents

Want to know more about the book I'm writing about helping people give their first technical talk at a user group or meetup?

Here's the Table of Contents.

Hopefully, it gives you a good idea of what to expect 

• Why give a technical talk?
• You are not going to give a talk like you’ve seen many times before
• You only need to answer 3 simple questions
• Question 1. What did you make (or do)?
• Question 2. Why did you do (or make) it?
• Question 3. What did you learn from the experience?
• Shorter talks are better
• Anyone can give a talk
• Your experiences (whatever they are) qualify you to speak
• You speak for the audience’s benefit
• You’ll get a lot out of speaking too
• You already know everything you need to do this
• You are telling a story
• You are not the hero of this story
• You don’t need to say everything
• You want questions and discussion--and there will be some
• You are not there to sell anything
• You have nothing to fear. You are among friends
• Your nerves are a good thing
• You only need to do very minimal preparation
• Do not start with PowerPoint (or Keynote)
• Your first technical talk is just the start
• Show and tell me how you get on
• Help others give great technical talks too
• Appendix 1. – Examples of talks given
• Appendix 2. – Advice for meetup organizers
• Appendix 3. – Advice for developer evangelists and marketers

Yes, there are a lot of chapters, but they're all very short.
