Love what you do and they will listen. Christian Heilmann -Pecha Kucha Night, Tokyo, Japan 09/11/2009

I am Chris and my job is to make developers happy.

I travel the world talking to people about simple solutions tobig problems.

And I love my job.

To me, the web is not about sites and code.

It is about information - data.

The web is full of great information and tools that help us dealwith information.

All we need is a simple way to reach that information.

And remix it.

Once we have the data we can build great interfaces that helpeveryone to consume that data.

All this needs passion.

And collaboration.

When we all - world-wide - work together towards the same goals,our job is easy.

This means re-using what other people have done.

This is not cheating - on the contrary, it is a cleverer way ofdealing with a problem that we all have.

Using systems that have proven to work means they can beconstantly upgraded and secured.

Working together on systems that by make it easier and moresecure to use our products protects our users.

So before you build something, look around what was already doneand can be re-used.

If you build something, give it out for free.

You will reach more people like you and get feedback onimprovements that you had no idea about.

Together we can build the future, each on our own all we can dois create a nice present.
