The presenter knew what he was talking about and passed on his knowledge in a very effective manner. I see some comments below about the presenter's accent, occasional grammatical errors etc, but from what I saw his mistakes were few and far between. I was able to understand his English after a few seconds. People who focus on those minor flaws are just being picky. My rating here relates to his ability to pass information, not his language skills, which I still view as fairly impressive. In short, I very much enjoyed the presentation and look forward to hearing more in the future. ▲ Collapse
