Campingtv | Le Camping - : "WHEN, WHO AND HOW TO HIRE?" BY DAVID BIZER

David will be our guest on Thursday.  You might want to have a look at this Camping video. Did you send him your CV (with a copy to me)?
See you tomorrow, Tuesday, and Thursday for our last class with David.
James

"Everybody wants to hire great people. But there is a lot of competition and not everybody may know your startup. You have to be convincing and to know exactly what you want. For that, you should ask you some simple questions like : "In twelve months, what will this person have achieved?", "Do I like this person from a personal standpoint?" All of David Bizer's tips, Talent Geek at HackFwd, in this excellent video."

Folklore.org: Macintosh Stories

Folklore.org: Macintosh Stories:
The Original Macintosh
Anecdotes about the development of Apple's original Macintosh computer, and the people who created it. (119 stories)

Here you can read about what Andy Hertzfeld did for the Macintosh... BTW, he's the googler that designed the Google+ circles...

(Andy also wrote the Python scripts for the folklore.org website... It's an interesting read about the Macintosh team and Steve Jobs' management style back then! )

The anecdotes on this site were turned into a book: Revolution in the Valley, published by O'Reilly Media in December 2004.

Comments anyone? Looking forward to seeing group 2 tomorrow in E101.
