I recently had the opportunity to do two presentations at a Tucson .NET User Group meeting - Aaron Wagner and I gave a ~40 minute presentation on Mercurial and I did a short presentation on White!

It was a privilege to have the opportunity to share information about these tools and great to get some extra motivation to keep learning. The Mercurial presentation was 2/3 slides and 1/3 live demo (Mercurial/TortoiseHg and Kiln) targeted at providing a basic introduction to Mercurial. I have put the slides here for download (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported), if you are doing a similar short presentation they may be useful – if you are just looking for tutorials/information about Mercurial I suggest you skip these slides and look at this tutorial and this book – both great starting points. (Powerpoint and Impress files are included in the download – the Impress file is not ideal but should be clean enough to easily use or copy).

Enjoy!
