Business of Software Conference

SEPTEMBER 10, 2018

In honor of the recent passing of Gerald Weinberg, I’ll choose my favorite of his: The Secrets of Consulting. Mikey Trafton, Alamo Drafthouse, CTO. Rich Mironov, Mironov Consulting. Entertaining and thought provoking! Most influential book: There are many to choose from. (I I guess I’m easily influenced.)
