(It ends up being a “two birds with one stone” situation, as I watch/listen to them as I exercise.

These are live, half-day blocks in which great presentations from recent conferences are done again, this time online. I’ve not attended, or viewed, any yet myself, but this Wednesday, March 22nd, the theme is “Public Speaking for Developers”.
