EP. 21 - How IT Experts Give Back

|39m
This week's episode of Conversations with Tech Experts features Jim Dettman, Experts Exchange Fellow and President of Online Computer Services of WNY. Jim joins Experts Exchange CEO Randy Redberg and Director of Bus. Dev. Thomas Bernal to discuss how a tech expert can give back to their community. They start the show by revisiting Randy and Jim's trip to ride motorcycles in Pismo Dunes, California. Jim goes on to tell us how giving back to the tech community is something he learned at an early age, and how important it can be to pay it forward. He also dives into his "no one is an expert at everything" mentality toward giving back. Jim tells the crew what it takes to maintain Microsoft MVP status, and gives his advice to young professionals trying to grow their careers. He finishes with his big idea: always keep learning.

I often learn something from Jim's posts -- thanks, Jim! If he chimes in on a thread,  no doubt that what he writes will be relevant and helpful. He's got a gift to explain even difficult concepts in an understandable way. He's one of the most brilliant Access minds, and also knows about many other topics too.

on supporting languages ... how about a translator widget on each page of the site? and when you create a post too?

kind regards,
