O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
Chapter 4. Temporal Patterns
Leveraging time to add a fourth dimension to presentations is a recurring theme throughout the book. This chapter shows patterns that take advantage of time to add life to presentations. As a side effect, we also uncover a way to create attractive presentations as both slide shows and handouts.
We discuss one of the unfortunate realities of corporate life in this chapter, the Slideuments antipattern, a presentation that also attempts to be a document. Because many of the patterns in this chapter manipulate time during the presentation, they help solve the common problems presented by Slideuments, with solutions such as Gradual Consistency and Charred Trail.
