Fast Company & Microsoft

There are many fascinating articles in this months issue of Fast Company however there are three that I found linked closely to what I do and what I am interested in as The App’s Guy and as an application instructor.

 

First up is “Presentation Pep Talk” on page 87 which has input regarding creating PowerPoint presentations. Like so many articles today it takes on the overkill of using PowerPoint and what it should be rather than mega slides of bullet points. Only two pages and it is a thinking piece.

Onto the article about Gary Flake, head of the Live Labs at Microsoft. The writing is titled “Young Flakenstein” and can be found on page 119. The piece and the insert are both very interesting.

Last but not least in the three is Scobleizer on page 90. I like reading Robert and this is not different. We see these people all the time in our classes and they can be great spokes people for what we do.

There are many other pieces of writing that are worth the $4.99 – grab it up.
