Refactoring Your Health
A great developer has courage, dedication, passion, and enough mental chops to break down problems and innovate solutions. That toughness is what heroes are made of; but with such an exhausting job, it's no surprise that a lot of IT professionals struggle to show the same dedication for their physical health and well-being. In this interactive presentation, we're going to maximize our time and potential by sharing exercises you can do at your desk, healthy snacking habits that won’t clog your keyboard, and the technology that helps us solve these problems. If you're a professional who wants as much power over your health as your development environment, then this is the talk to assist in refactoring your health.
A Developers Guide to Start-Ups
This is the conference talk that convinces you to quit your job and move to Silicon Valley. As developers, we have so many skills; so much creativity- we use logic and ingenuity every day to solve problems and build solutions for other people's projects. The problem is, it's a lot easier to work on a product than to start a business. However, with a few simple tools, competencies and some initiative you can find yourself going from idea to IPO. This presentation will cover topics including: Minimum Viable Product, Customer Discovery, Product Market Fit, and the Business Model Canvas. You'll be surprised by how much you can learn in an hour, and you'll walk away ready to pitch your brain baby to Y Combinator.
