+++ Hard lessons about building SaaS products (by Matthias Endler) +++
Tech eventually gets boring when you're always just hammering away at PHP - no offense, we love you PHP.
Many of us dream of one day creating our own product or service and making money from it; I've had that dream, too! Reality often looks different: we have too many other things on our plate, and when we do find the time, where do we even start? With my talk, I want to do one thing above all: save you time. I'll show you what I've tried over the years and what my situation looks like now. Meanwhile, we can all have a good laugh at my mistakes... and there were quite a few.

About Matthias
