I had a blast seeing and hearing what Sarah Lacy had to say about her new book and entrepreneurial ventures in Silicon Valley and Omaha. I think her book is going to be very interesting and I’m looking forward to reading it.
On the other side, I really enjoyed meeting all the people that are interested in making web development something special here in Omaha. I really appreciate everything that Jeff Slobotski (Silicon Prairie News) and Dusty Davidson (Brightmix) are doing for the web community here in Omaha.
With as interesting as last night was I’m really looking forward to going to BarCamp Omaha on August 15-17.
And also one last thing that I found out about last night is Refresh Omaha, which I think is a great idea and I would really like to be involved as much as I can. I think Omaha has the talent to make it a great place for web development to thrive and it’s a great place to be involved in the web scene since it seems to be growing at a great speed thanks to the individuals who are willing to take on the challenge of starting their own company.
So all in all I had a great time last night and the future looks pretty bright here in Omaha.
This is a great resource for people who need to work with designers. Communication is key when you’re trying to develop a good design and this would help clients a lot. I think.
This is my favorite part of the article:
10) Don’t tell your designer how to design. That’s not your area of expertise. Give a designer your requirements and preferences, but also the freedom to create something that answers them as effectively as possible. If you micromanage a designer, they won’t be motivated to do anything but cash your check.
