Presentation: How to Get There — Larry Ullman

Tonight's Presentation Summary:

I have a degree in English literature, with a minor in Philosophy and Religion. My only formal computer training was a Pascal class in high school. And yet, I've managed to become a relatively successful developer, writer, instructor, and speaker. And now I'm (quite honored to be) part of a significant start-up in Stripe. How in the world did this happen? Call it getting older, or having had varying experiences, or perhaps this is my mid-life crisis, but I've been reflecting upon the path I've taken and how I got to be where I am. I've come to the conclusion that success and achievement aren't about learning X or Y technologies, but rather stem from having the right attitudes and behaviors. Whether you want to be a developer, the founder of a startup, a writer, or whatever, in this presentation, I'll explain what I think you need to know and do to get to where you hope to be.

As always we are hosted by the amazing Cowork Frederick. Frederick's premiere coworking facility at 122 East Patrick Street. There is plenty of free on-street parking in the evenings near here, as well as a parking garage one block away. When you get to the location, go up the steps and enter on the first floor, and then go straight to the large room in the rear.
