First presentation

Well, last night I gave my first developer related presentation on the Disco project. It was an interesting experience presenting to the Boston Python User Group, and well worth the experience. I feel that participating in groups in this manner is critical to professional development, and will force me to become a stronger developer. By presenting material to others not only do I get to share an interest with them, but I am also forced to solidify my understanding of a topic. One of the problems that I have is motivation to explore all of the random ideas that I have. I feel that presenting lightning talks may be a good way to explore them since not only will I have a deadline to get them done by, but additionally I will have the excitement and motivation of sharing those ideas and results with others who may find value in them.
