TALK OVERVIEW

Being Better At Developer Relations with Kathy Sierra's 'The Kick Ass Curve'

We all know the primary goal for developer relations is 'making developers successful and happy on our platform/project/product'.

But maybe not all of you have heard of Kathy Sierra and her Kick Ass Curve. Way back when, Kathy was a blogging force for good in the world of developer relations. This session will introduce the curve and how it provides a great model to focus your developer relations efforts.

By going through the curve together you will leave with a better understanding of where to apply your effort and why you should prioritize some tasks over others. Print out the graph and put it on your wall - Learn It, Know It, Live It.
