This is a highly abbreviated version of the presentation I've shared with hundreds of people about marketing to software developers. The presentation is constantly evolving with new data, but the core story remains the same: the world is increasingly run by software, developers build software, and developers are thereby the key to your company's future. From our experience and research, we can teach you the keys to effectively gaining developer attention, interest, involvement, trust and adoption. And I'd love to help you, too.
