My favorite presentation format

G. Andrew Duthie makes a good question about a presentation format: "Do you prefer to have a presenter write the code live, or do you prefer to have the presenter show a pre-written example, and explain how the important parts work?". As he gives us ample opportunity to ask for the "perfect" format, here goes my 2 cents:

• A minimum of slides, with diagrams or graphics showing things like architecture, purpose and relationships. No bulleted text if at all possible.
• Small examples created live showing that basic concepts are really simple to use.
• One sophisticated example where we can see how the whole thing works in a realistic scenario and how you are supposed to use the new feature together with things like exceptions, logging, etc.

I know this is probably too much to ask for (especially the last point) but may be a presenter or two will take notice (and if they do I will certainly blog about it!).
