I’ve found that there is still a lot of interest from people in learning about things that I’ve worked on and refined through the course of my professional career.<\/p>\n
Things like: where to place your code, how to use an IDE and debugger, building and utilizing a deployment system and ways to make your code much simpler and easier to understand and maintain.<\/p>\n
I love the feeling of helping someone from sharing something I know; it’s such a powerful and intense feeling, seeing their eyes light up and their excitement at seeing a new way of doing something! All from just sharing some information – it’s so amazing.<\/p>\n

I would love to have an easier\/more integrated way to publish and update plugins via GitHub.<\/p>\n
Using SVN and the entire process for publishing a plugin makes things extremely cumbersome and is a huge barrier to entry for people looking to publish their first plugin.<\/p>\n
I admire Steve Zehngut and Chris Lema greatly. They are both very intelligent and savvy businessmen.<\/p>\n
Steve is very good at understanding people and situations. I continue to learn from him better ways to approach and handle situations.<\/p>\n
Chris is a thought-provoking and forward thinking individual who has a very solid understanding of the current landscape, where it’s headed and what opportunities exist.<\/p>\n
I greatly respect and admire them both.<\/p>\n
