Developers are already good at writing code. Writing reams of code just digs you deeper into an already deeply specialized skill. What I am proposing is that we spend less time coding and more time developing skills in other areas that compliment our coding skills. Become a better writer. Become a better speaker. Improve your personal skills. Participate in the community. Try to spend some time talking to people instead of the compiler. That's how you distinguish yourself from your peers. And that's ultimately how you become a better software developer, too.

I would like to Present

Every month the User Group is full of highly technical early adopters of technology and SSW are always open to exploring the latest technologies. We welcome companies and guest presenters to present new topics and new gadgets. We do require you to delve beyond the sales and marketing pitch and show us how it was built, not just why it was built. Here's a quick list of some of the requirements for prospective User Group presenters:

  • Presentation needs to be directed at a highly technical audience (No sales pitch)
  • Introduce new technology
  • Samples and giveaway prizes for User Group attendees
  • SSW needs to approve the presentation prior to the meeting with a rehearsal - make a time with Adam
  • Guest presenters must send a summary (maximum of 150 characters) of their presentation for inclusion into our Past SSW Newsletter one week prior to the User Group

If you think you're up for the challenge and have something new to show us please Adam Cogan.
