So you have a great idea, but no technical ability to get it built? Where of you get started, how do you communicate your idea and how do you know you are being told by developers is in your best interest? Finding the right developer or technical co-founder can be tough, but working and communicating with one can be even tougher. Join Cospace for a discussion of how to plan, communicate and build your idea with a developer - and most importantly, how to manage your relationship.
Panel to Include
*Tim Falls: Tim leads the SendGrid developer relations team in their quest to empower developers to tackle big challenges and spark innovation around email as a platform. He also helps bring hackdays to cities across the globe as a co-organizer of API Hackday.
Complementing his role at SendGrid, Tim helps accelerate the startup community in Boulder, CO, as producer of Boulder Beta and community volunteer at TechStars.
*Scott Gress: Freelance developer and Chief of Bits and Bytes at CraftLaunch. Scott’s first experience with computers came when his father pressed “PLAY” on the data cassette recorder connected to a 1981 Commodore PET. A year or so later, the file actually loaded and he won his first game of Tic-Tac-Toe versus the computer, confounding his father who had written the program. In the years since, Scott has written his own programs in more than a dozen languages, but he still maintains that the most important language is the one spoken between designers, developers, managers and clients (hopefully in his case, that’s English). As the proprietor of Pig and Cow Design, Scott has worked with startups, schools, non-profits, small governments and clients such as American Express, Dell, Nielsen and Levi’s. As COBB of CraftLaunch, he keeps the lights on for hundreds of online stores used by artists and crafters worldwide.
*Lance Vaughn: Award-winning technology professional with over twenty years of consulting experience is Founder and CEO of CabForward and President of the Lone Star Ruby Foundation. CabForward builds rich internet applications to achieve greater scalability and availability that customers expect and adheres to an agile development methodology and executes projects with a focus on rapid application development to deliver high quality web applications with more powerful features than ever before. Lance has worked with computers since 1981 and built his first website in 1996. CabForward is his dream and writing great software is his passion.
