In more than 10 years of experience in different roles of software development, including international and remote teams, Steven learned that sharing knowledge is the key to a successful self-development in IT.

Steven has already walked that path and is happy to help you walk it, too.

Amazing step by step guide for my first talk.
If you think about to make a talk this book will give you the right guidance.
I wanted to make a talk for a while now, but did not know how to do it. Each time I start I am overwhelmed with tons of questions.
Finally I have a structure and a step by step guide with this book. It answered a lot of my questions.
It is easy to read and feels like a talk with a mentor. I like Stevens writing style.
While reading I made some pauses and scribbled my first talk idea, title and major parts of the content by just following the questions and suggestions in the book.
Thank you Steven for this book. You make my first talk possible!
