<h3>Presentation tips</h3>
159
+
<p>Follow these tips to help the audience get the most from your talk:
160
+
<ul>
161
+
<li>Use text that is large enough to read from the back of the room. This applies not only to slides but also your code editor, command line and browser if you are doing a demo - bump up the font size or use the accessibility features of your O.S. to zoom in on part of the screen.</li>
162
+
<li>Some colors are harder to read than others on the displays. Adopt a high-contrast color scheme for text to make it easier to read, and consider people who are colorblind when selecting colors.</li>
163
+
<li>To get the best result for the recording of your talk, remember to speak clearly using the microphone, and if someone asks a question, try to repeat or rephrase the question as part of your answer so that it also gets recorded.</li>
164
+
<li>If you're planning on live coding or giving a live demo, it's a good idea to have prepared a backup option (e.g. screenshots, video, or a version of the code that is known to work) in case it doesn't go to plan.</li>
