Evangelismo técnico: ¿qué, cómo y por qué?
Abstract
Developer Advocacy, Technical Evangelism, Developer Relations (DevRel)... no hemos parado de escuchar estos términos durante los últimos diez años, pero ¿qué significan realmente?
En su presentación, Trisha nos contará la historia detrás de estos roles, por qué una empresa podría necesitar una o más personas para desempeñarlos, y las buenas y malas prácticas que ha identificado a lo largo de su carrera.
Después de esta charla, comprenderás por qué no podemos ignorar el evangelismo técnico si trabajamos en la industría del software.

Why
- How developers influence purchasing decisions in today’s IT organizations (article)
- The New Kingmakers (book) - "The book about how developers took over the world"
How
- Badass: Making Users Awesome (book) - if you only do one thing after seeing my talk, read this book!
- The Lean Startup (book) - I learnt about vanity metrics from this book, and why they're misleading
- Maker's schedule vs Manager's schedule
- Organizational Physics: The Science of Growing a Business (book) - there's lots of good stuff in here, but the thing I found super helpful was the personality profiling.
- Work smarter, not harder - my own experience of being smarter about how I work (as a developer advocate)
- Blogs: tips for speakers - I have a bunch of blog posts with tips for giving conference talks.
- Getting to Know IntelliJ IDEA (book) - yes I know it's a gratuitous plug for my book. But we wrote it with Kathy Sierra's "Badass" in mind, and try to focus on how users can be awesome with IntelliJ IDEA, rather than just discussing the features of the IDE.
