Day Camp 4 Developers #4: Business 101 for Developers
3 Mar 2012 at Online

Having not done contract work for years, it's great to see some of the tools used. The talk flowed well. I agree with Jacques that it picked up more in the middle, but I tend to prefer that.

Not just for freelancers or business owners but every developer could benifit from. The silences (cough moments i guess) in the talk made me wonder if my audio still worked ok

Good presentation of a rather dry topic.

Have to agree with Michelangelo - the pauses felt a bit odd, especially the longer ones. Get well soon :)

Good talk on why it is important to track your time and the definition of wat billable hours actually are. The (Google) Calendar example was a useful real-world example of a way of dealing with must-do's and planning the rest of your time based on that. The invoicing part was good info as well. Totally agree with that!

Good presentation overall.
And good remarks pointed out by Michelangelo though..

Excellent coverage of the importance of the importance of scheduling and understanding how you manage time. Also, liked the section on billing.

Hey Lorna. Great talk and even I was able to learn a thing or two (even took some notes on your slides)! One remark though, as you're doing a virtual talk some of your silent moments may seem like the audio failed with people attending, so if you need to cough or blow your nose best is to announce this.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Lorna. Good job.

Great job Lorna, I learned something despite the many years I have been freelance and/or running my own company. Loved the Google Calendar examples.

Lorna is always awesome. This presentation was a little slow up front but got really great by mid-way.
