June Meeting

[Dan Mullins]

June's meeting is brought to you by the Central Iowa Software
Symposium. Nate Schutta from the NFJS tour will be talking about
leading technical change. We will be giving away a free pass to this
years conference (an $800 value)

Technology changes, it's a fact of life. And while many developers are
attracted to the challenge of change, many organizations do a
particularly poor job of adapting. We've all worked on projects with,
ahem, less than new technologies even though newer approaches would
better serve the business. But how do we convince those holding the
purse strings to pony up the cash when things are "working" today? At
a personal, how do we keep up with the change in our industry?

This talk will explore ways to stay sharp as a software professional.
We'll talk about how a technology radar can help you stay marketable
(and enjoying your career) and how we can use the same technique to
help our companies keep abreast of important changes in the technology
landscape. Of course it isn't enough to just be aware, we have to
drive change - but how? This talk will consider ways we can influence
others and lead change in our organizations.

Meeting location is at Meredith and pizza will be provided by AppCore.
