Here are a few lessons I learned, doing a workshop at #PyDelhiConf
- Chatbots are interesting to people (we had good attendance)
- Jump into the code after showing a couple of overview diagrams (I talked too much)
- Send the code and tools to the participants a few days earlier
- Make it interactive (one of the organizers came by and told me during our session)
- Just because you are going to a Python conference, don’t assume that everyone knows Python. Lots of students and beginners were in attendance.
- Do code walkthroughs – very clear and very concise
- Don’t underestimate the time needed to do a good workshop. Use time wisely.
- Take the help of the community during the workshop, a couple of kindred spirits helped others.
- Always go with a few copies of all the software needed in pen drives.
- Ask yourself one question and let it guide the flow – what nanoskill will a participant get from their investment of time in your workshop
