Have you ever tried to use your cell phone to keep track of time?
My advice is:
Introduction using slides - 10 / 15 min:
Avoid comprehensive introductions about yourself. Something like: My name is Andy, I'm a developer X currently working in company Foo and I want to share my experience with React.
Talk about what to expect in your workshop so everybody will be aligned.
Show a fully working example of the final project first and then begin from scratch.
Try to split the project in git branches so it will be easier to follow along.
Provide a link to the project repo. So everybody will be able to clone it.
And finally:
If something breaks: Keep calm! - Ask for help to atendees. It might just be a typo. Whatever it is, remember we all make mistakes. No one expect you to be a super-hero coder :)
Great advice! Thanks a lot for the response. I've never used my phone, although I think it would be more applicable for workshops as opposed to previous presentations I've done (mostly college presentations, about 10-20 minutes). I'm thinking of doing a workshop soon and I'm definitely going to read over this before the next time I present.
