DevFest Silicon Valley is happening on March 15, and I’ll be speaking there.  My talk is titled “An Engineer’s Guide to Learning About Your Users”.  If you’re in Silicon Valley, you should join me.  In my 30-minute session, I’ll explain how to elicit information from your users (both directly and indirectly).  I’ll discuss the parallels between good code and good research, and explain how the development lifecycle applies to research too.
