Ideas for conference presentation to hard-core coders?
Permalink
Hi all,
I'd like to give a presentation about C5 at a "code camp" conference. This conference will be for people who are experienced coders, but most of them will not know about C5. So I'm wondering what topic(s) I should talk about. On the one hand, I don't want to just give a general overview about the system (because these are coders who are there to learn about specific coding techniques and case studies), but on the other hand I don't want to focus on a single specific topic (because they are unfamiliar with C5 and would lack the context to understand what I'm doing).
I'm hoping to come up with something that demonstrates a larger point of programming that is implemented via C5, and would appreciate any ideas people might have.
Thanks!

i'd think that one of the biggies is the modular style of package system, and how easy it is to implement blocks & apps on different sites. that and emphasizing that even though it is super simple for the end user, it's also super extendable for developers (customizable attribute types, overriding core models or block views, custom page types, etc).
