The Independent Developer Workshop – PIE: Portland Incubator Experiment I'm putting on a workshop for freelance software developers. The workshop is non-technical -- instead of languages and frameworks, we're focusing on helping freelancers find more opportunities, write better proposals, improve client relationships, and dispelling the FUD of going out on one's own. We'll have a couple of good panel discussions, and I'll be sticking around late into the evening to work with people one-on-one. Food and drinks will be provided (including free beer), and you'll also receive over $300 in discounts on services for freelancers. Interested? Head over to http://i26r.com/ to register, or learn more about what we're doing. |
