Time To Pick For SXSW – How To Hire And Manage A Developer

August 13th, 2010 - Jeff Turner

Our very own Steve Zehngut has a presentation up for consideration at SXSW Interactive this year and we’d love to have it chosen. About 30% of the decision, according to the SXSW people, is based on the thumbs up of readers. (Personally, I think it’s just a ploy to get lots of links and site registrations, but hey, you gotta play by their rules. Right?)

Steve’s presentation focuses on breaking down the communication barriers that can make working with a developer more difficult than it needs to be. The presentation will cover Interviewing Your Potential Developer, Planning & Project Managment, Using A Version Control System, and Bug Reporting. The session will give the audience a reality check on how to go about working with a developer to get a custom WordPress site (or any digital project) built on time and on budget.
