Code Newbie is one of my newest podcast subscriptions and I've recently been entertaining the thought of trying to do a small (10-15 minute) talk on a topic of interest to some local group. Naturally, this podcast piqued my interest and Kim Crayton is certainly an inspiration. In very little time she has created quite a name and is being offered speaking gigs at some amazing conferences.
