This is my favorite Ignite presentation that I have seen so far.

Things I like:
- humor: This guy is actually really funny! He’s not simply up there telling jokes, he is just a good storyteller. The way he presents his information is extremely conversational and natural. This makes it easy to follow and keeps the audience engaged.
- good story: Not only is the presenter a good storyteller, but he also has a good story. The story is very relevant to this day in age with hundreds of new applications and mobile devices coming out each day and the story is about his life so he knows it very well. He did a really good job of going into detail when necessary and when it was time to move on to the next point.
- Powerpoint: Another strong point of this presentation is the powerpoint itself. The presenter does a good job of keeping the powerpoint as an aid rather than the presentation itself. The images are simple and are timed well with his speech. There is limited text, making it easier to focus on what he is actually saying rather than trying to read off of the screen. There is also slim to no animation, which also prevents distraction.
