With great power comes great responsibility - Microsoft Canada Open Source co...Frédéric Harper
You are one of the tech leaders in your community and you are passionate about what you do. People can see it. Your tribe, they know it… You are good at what you do, no doubt. Perhaps your blog or you inevitably share your opinions on your social media accounts? Maybe you speak at conferences or organize a user group? No matter what you do, you are an influencer. Stop being humble, you know it’s true, isn’t it? No matter what is your end goal, what you are doing, day to day, has an impact. A positive impact in the tech industry, in your city, at work and even online. So you need to get your shit together, and be responsible for this great power you have, influence! Not that I think you aren’t trustworthy, but, hey, we’ll talk about it...

Did you ever try to participate in a not so small Open Source project? The experience is awful. Did you ever want to share your code on a public repository because you thought it was the thing to do? Of course, after that day, I felt like the worst developer in the world. I don’t even understand why I should put the code I created to “help” others, to share: I mean, I didn’t sleep for hours and lost a ton of hairs over that crazy problem… You got it, I don’t like Open Source, and you shouldn’t like it either!

Personal branding for developers - West Island developers and entrepreneurs m...Frédéric Harper
Personal Branding for developers: it’s more important than you think. Do you think personal branding is not for you? Why should you care about your brand? After all, it’s not like you are an actor or the lead singer for a rock band.
In fact, it’s never been more important for you to think about yourself as a brand. Doing so will provide rocket fuel for your career. You’ll find better jobs or become the “go-to guy” in certain situations. You’ll become known for your expertise and leadership; people will seek your advice and point of view. You’ll get paid better to speak, write, or consult. As a developer, there are many tools you can use to scale, and this presentation will help you understand how to get visibility, make a real impact, and achieve your goal. No need to be a marketing expert or a personal branding guru: be yourself and get your dream job or get to the next level of your career.

Vous pensez peut-être que le personal branding n'est pas pour vous? Pourquoi devriez-vous vous souciez de votre propre branding, vous n'êtes pas un acteur et encore moins le chanteur d'un groupe rock international, non? En ces jours où tout le monde a le pouvoir de sortir du lot plus facilement, de partager plus rapidement et de faire grandir son réseau comme jamais, il est plus important que jamais de penser à vous, en tant que marque. Bien sûr, le but n'est pas d'aller aussi loin que votre marque de boisson gazeuse préférée, mais nous explorerons ensemble le quoi, pourquoi, qui et comment (what, why, who & how) du personal branding pour les développeurs.
