Care and keeping of your junior dev
Presented by Bonnie Mattson (@BonMatts)
There are more job openings for experienced developers than there are people to fill them. What's the solution? Bonnie will discuss strategies for helping junior developers become effective, contributing team members--on path to become the senior developers you need.

New to Refresh? Welcome! A couple quick things to get you started: Every meetup begins with a "looking for work" or "looking to hire" segment. The talks and resulting questions are always great, but if you have more to say (or just can't make it) chime in and follow along on Twitter at #refreshaustin
All job-related posts should be made to the Refresh Austin Jobs list at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/refresh-austin-jobs.

Your perspective seems fairly short-sighted. There are cheap and outsourced development alternatives for most technical projects outside of web design as well. You get what you pay for.

>> There are more job openings for experienced developers than there are people to fill them. Wow - that is not what I am seeing :-| I have 15+ years of IT experience with Oracle, C, SAP and Unix but in order to get a job (usually with a Fortune 500 company), I have to leave the city, state or country - oh well :-|

I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

Did not mean any disrespect to the presenter. I have seen templates that can be bought for $40 (ex: envator.com) . Don't forget wix and weebly. I have also seen places (like freelancer.com or elance.com) where one can get a complete website done for $200 and get coding done for about $80. Add in my own experiences and I thought that web design was more of a commodity - so - it was surprising to see that people hire in this area at all anymore.
