Having done presentations at several Fox conferences and user groups around the world, I think I know what to do and what not to do when speaking to a group. What things do people need to know about a topic and what should be left out. I no longer get nervous before doing a presentation for the first time or speaking in front of a new group, even when English is not their preferred or first language.

Tuesday morning I will be doing my first ASP.Net presentation as part of a two day training class at Microsoft's Salt Lake City offices. And I'm quite nervous. I haven't done anything with ASP.Net other than play around with it. What questions should I expect? What things do people really need to see or know about? What stuff is different in ASP.Net 2.0 compared to 1.1? Microsoft supplied me with the slides and demos, but I still have to fill in all the gaps.

The good news is the Microsoft people know that I'm nervous about this and that my .Net skills are still in the "newbie" category. Hopefully things will go fine.
