Things to use, find and share. Christian Heilmann | http://icant.co.uk | http://wait-till-i.com Yahoo7 Open Session, Sydney, Australia April 2009 Hi there, I am Chris. I am right now on a pretty mental schedule giving talks down south. Last week I flew from home (London, UK) to Hong Kong, Taipei, drove to Hsinchu, back to Taipei, onwards to Sydney via Hong Kong, then to Melbourne and now back to Sydney. All with the mission to share good info to make web development easier. Doing that and not sleeping much does things to you. You see hidden messages. ...and you misinterpret others. I live in London, England Spring Summer The snow flake that spells the end of public transport * Autumn Winter Summer Originally I am German FIRST! Humour. I ♥ building great interfaces to access and find data. And I love making them work for everybody. The problem is that for years it was quite a job to make this is a reality. Nowadays we are very lucky as developers. It is increasingly easy to develop great products. The trick is to build them with parts that are proven to work. And these parts are readily available for us. Over the last years a revolution happened. Companies and individuals started realizing the power of giving things out to the public. By allowing people to use your products and keep an open ear you have a great opportunity to improve them. And this is exactly what we do at the Yahoo Developer Network. / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; ! !
