I was recently asked by an organization, "Tony, what topics can you cover?" So, here goes: Dr. Tony Karrer Over the past 15 years, Tony has been a part-time CTO for more than 30 startups. Over the past several years, I've done lots of presentations around a wide variety of topics.

Founder Developer Gap and A, B, C Players By the way, this question is another example of issues around the Founder Developer Gap. Developers operate at a level and in a language that others in the organization can’t necessarily interpret and understand. So, it’s often hard to know if the developer is an A, B or C player.

One of the big, open source successes in both Southern California and the software world was Gluecode Software , which was based in Los Angeles and acquired by IBM in 2005.

What do you get when you combine a charitable pub crawl, the movie Anchorman, and a software developer randomly hired off Craigslist? In the case of San Diego's Classy (www.classy.org), you get an extremely popular piece of software-as-a-service to help you manage a nonprofit and its fundraising efforts. What is Classy?

What existing systems will we leverage, what programming languages, software development methodologies, web application frameworks, revision control systems, etc.?
