I am not sure what to talk about, though. Any particular D topics
you'd find particularly interesting?
Problems in C++ that D solves.
A lot of people have asked me to stop talking about limitations in C++
<g> and instead concentrate on what D can do.
So don't TALK about them. Folks are sick and tired of hype and fud anyway.
Implicitly you'll address C++'s limitations anyhow, since there's
obviously no point in talking about D stuff where C++ works equally well.
Combine Martha Stewart and Mythbusters. Pick a programming task or a
small example application or algorithm, and show them that it can be
written easily and painlessly with D. (Something that obviously would be
a pain to do in C++.) BUT DON'T MENTION C++ EVEN ONCE in the presentation.
And let the audience themselves have the Aha of 'gee, i would have spent
three days on that in my language', which obviously is C++.
Amen brother!
