I’m speaking at 360Flex next week, Feburary 25th at 4:00 pm. My topic is officially called “Big and Famous: How to Succeed as an Independent Developer”. My topic will cover:
- Why and how to become an independent developer
- Why and how to make money
- Why and how to build your personal brand
- Why and how to use Flex to make it all happen
I chose my topic for a few reasons. First, when I started working for myself, I knew jack, and had no one to help me. I flailed and failed on my first attempt. I don’t feel others should have to go through what I did. Secondly, the Flex market has gotten to the point where all the popular topics are taken; I need something unique, yet I feel represents me. Finally, I like speaking about a subject that will help others succeed.
Hope to see you there!

360|Flex Atlanta - February 25-27, 2008
This 3-day conference is the place to learn about Flex and AIR from
Adobe and community speakers. Sunday before the conference we’ll be offering an all day Flex 101 session, included in the price of registration. That’s right, a pre-conference all day training session on Flex. 360|Flex is the premiere Flex and AIR conference. We were the first Flex conference and we’re still growing and getting better. Don’t miss out, only $480 for an individual or $1500 for a 4-person team. More details can be found at http://360flex.com
So…does this mean you’ll be wearing one of McCune’s bedazzled 360Flex shirt beauties?

For those of us unable to attend is there a possibility you could provide a video of your segment? If not, good luck and wish I could make it to 360|Flex but my employers are cheap.

I think the first lesson is not to spend $500 to have someone tell you how to make money. HA HA, just kidding. I am curious what you are going to say, I’ve been freelancing ActionScript for 8+ years now. Will there be a video of your presentation after the conf?
