For those who wish to not only learn about the C++ REST SDK, but also want to present the SDK to colleagues, user groups or at other events, here is a guide to help you. Included in this guide is a set of presentation slides which you can use and modify, a screencast walking through the slides, and a one-pager which can be handed out to audience members.
FIRST, grab everyone's attention
SECOND, motivate them on why they should use the C++ REST SDK
THIRD, introduce them to the core APIs
FOURTH, walk them through some sample code
FIFTH, discuss the future direction of the SDK
SIXTH, encourage them to get involved in our open source community
SEVENTH, share some useful resources and summarize the presentation
FIRST, grab everyone's attention
- Demo the Facebook Sample. Show how simple it is to connect to the Facebook APIs.
SECOND, motivate them on why they should use the C++ REST SDK
- Slides 3-5 introduce the motivations behind the SDK and how C++ and Connected Applications go hand in hand
THIRD, introduce them to the core APIs
- Slides 6-12 give a high-level overview of the APIs and explain the basic concepts used throughout the library
FOURTH, walk them through some sample code
- Demo the BingRequest and SearchFile samples and walk through the source code. These samples showcase the HTTP Client and Asynchronous Streaming libraries
FIFTH, discuss the future direction of the SDK
- Refer to Slide 14 to showcase the features that are will be included in subsequent releases. Also encourage discussion on other features that are not listed but should be added.
SIXTH, encourage them to get involved in our open source community
- The C++ REST SDK is an open source project. Encourage others to get involved by reporting bugs, providing feedback or forking the sources and adding additional functionality.
SEVENTH, share some useful resources and summarize the presentation
- Give them a quick tour of CodePlex!
