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!

Adobe is doing a marketing campaign to help answer “why?” over at 30onair.com. Specifically, why would you utilize a certain technology, or set of technologies, that Adobe offers. The site aggregates videos on YouTube from people around the world answering these questions in about 30 seconds. You record a 30 second video of yourself answering any of the why questions, upload to YouTube, and tag with “30onair”. Your video will then be shown with the rest on 30onair.com.
