I gave a presentation on AJAX today. It was a knowledge sharing session at my company. Around 35 people attended the session. Though quite a few appeared silent and uninterested, there were some who were interested.

Update:

I got some valuable feedback on my presentation, which is as follows.

1. You have good knowledge on the topic, you could have connected with the audience much more.. get them more involved.. by asking simple questions and asking for opinions.. You need to remember that, by being on the stage, you are looking to influence people to buy what you are saying.
2. The transition effects in the slides is not really a part of the template, so, you must have added it.. sometimes, these could be disturbing, as they have the potential to take away audience’s attention from what you are saying to what they are seeing on the screen. So, if at all, use of these effects should be minimal, to help spice up the presentation at key points only.
3. Some of the slides had long sentences in them.. I think it is not such a good idea.. we should look to have very short and crisp phrases, to be used by you as a hint to talk on the topic. If and when audience sees a sentence like this, again, you are losing their attention, as they start reading it.. and also, you are losing eye contact with them since, you also tend to read it from the screen.

I am going to make sure I follow the suggestions in the feedback.

1. Create a class inherited from ServicedComponent class by referencing System.EnterpriseServices.
2. Write the logic in it and declare methods.
3. Add class hierarchy as necessary.
4. Compile the project.
5. Go to command prompt and on to the bin\debug folder, and type in
   sn -k CalculatorServiceComponent.snk
   This is to strong-name and write the key pair to the .snk file.
6. Move the .snk file to the root of the project folder.
7. Have the following line in the AssemblyInfo.cs file of the project.
   [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\CalculatorServiceComponent.snk")]
8. Go to command prompt again and run,
   regsvcs CalculatorServiceComponent.dll
9. You might get couple of warnings, which can be ignored depending on the severity.
10. Go to Component services from control panel and look up the created COM+ components and the methods that have been defined.
