#129: Are You a Member of These Development Forums?




Playbook –  show

Summary: This week on CIO Playbook with Jeffrey Hurley I am discussing several Developer, Design, and Data Science online forums that we as leadership should be a part of. These forums are where you developers, designers, and data scientists are spending their time online. The majority of people spend their time on sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc. yet technology professionals are spending their time on niche networks that target their interests. This week I am looking to help you go beyond the normal social networks and get involved in niche networks where your programmers, designers, and data scientists are spending their time. Perhaps you will find a network that is a niche you would like to participate in or, more important, as a leader you find a network that has the kind of talent you are looking to add to your technology team. Here is the list of networks I discuss on this episode:   Development Forums www.stackoverflow.com www.daniweb.com www.reddit.com/r/programming http://forums.devshed.com www.dreamincode.net www.bytes.com www.topcoder.com www.codeproject.com www.androidpit.com   Data Science Forums www.datasciencecentral.com www.datatau.com www.kaggle.com (bonus not included in the episode)   Designer Forums http://ux.stackexchange.com http://news.layervault.com www.behance.com www.dribbble.com   Bonus Social Network www.tech.pro   Notes: Photo via flickr.com: Forum Romanum by Martin Fisch CIO Playbook with Jeffrey Hurley is a podcast dedicated to the development of technology leadership hosted by Jeffrey Hurley, a seasoned global technology leader who has held positions with Fortune 500 companies throughout the world including diverse countries: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, United Kingdom, and the United States.
