Developers Change
the World—the Best
Will Write the Future.

I am honored to help engage, educate, enable, and energize this amazing group of creators—
they are digital heroes, influencers, change agents, kingmakers, and re-definers of our future.

Welcome! If we've never met, please let me make 3 statements (below) that get to the heart of WHY this matters.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″]

Statement No. 01.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″]

Developers have world- changing superpowers.

Developers are the most-important, most-valuable constituency in business today, regardless of industry.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″]

Technologists newly empowered with tools, hyper-connected via specialized collaboration and communication networks, and increasingly aware of their own value are no longer content to be mere stage players. They’re taking an active hand at direction. That genie is out of the bottle, and will not be returned to it.

Statement No. 02.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″]

Knowledge and ideas should be shared.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″]

We can learn more from each other when information is open. A free exchange of ideas is critical to creating an environment where people are allowed to learn and use existing information toward creating new ideas.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″]

In a meritocracy, the best ideas win, and everyone has access to the same information. Communities are formed to create beyond the capabilities of any one individual. It multiplies effort and shares the work. Together, we can do more.

Statement No. 03.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″]

Resources and assets should be shared.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″]

“

We spend countless hours—ultimately lifetimes—assessing, filtering, and collecting what we consider to be our own unique 'tools of the trade'—diagrams, books, videos, and anything else to assist in the consuming task of 'mastering our craft.'

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″]

I want to ensure that any high-value resource I collect or painstakingly create or add to is made available to anyone in the developer community who might benefit from it. Period.

To the superheroes who have already stopped by, THANK YOU!! This site was literally just launched so right now it only includes bare-bones bio and event information. It will continue to be updated as quickly as it can be done—first with existing and new blog content, and then with resources people ask me for fairly frequently (slides, videos, imagery, graphics, etc.) and updated event information. Thank you for both your interest and patience as the site is rolled out in its entirety.

Very sincerely,
