- Write a detailed README with contact info, info about the workshop itself, license etc
- Create a folder for each lesson so folks won’t have to struggle with switching git branches every 15 minutes
- Give everyone a minute to process what they’ve learned and to figure out whether they have questions
- Reference the docs so once the workshop concludes everyone knows where to find the resources to refresh what they’ve learned
- As with egghead lessons, guide their eyes - if you’re explaining something, then select it in your IDE (at least hover over it)
- Take a minute to go over the questions from the chat, read the question out loud
- Don’t be afraid to experiment when there’s an interesting question, we’re all nerds here who love to try out new stuff
- Have lesson notes either printed or on another screen
- Share cool links with folks in the chat
- If you’re showing any Chrome plugin etc. make sure to show how to find & install it
- Make sure your surroundings are not distracting
- Try to give everyone a break every hour or so
- Explain what’s the role of break out rooms and how do they work
- Buy a better webcam, seriously Michael this video quality is great!
- Consider creating custom snippets for longer typing sections (but don’t go too far, it’s a live workshop after all)
- Remember to have fun!

My webcam is the Logitech 920s and I have no complaints for the price: https://amzn.to/32ooeJh
