It's alive!

The new site is alive!

Please take a look at it, with a particular eye toward mizpellings and grammer bad.

My expectation is that most people will be hitting this via GoogleAds targeted at specific products, so: Assume you did a Google Search for "What is Agile Software Development" and you saw (and clicked) on the following link:

Learn Agile

You, my dear, rock. Good, fast, honest feedback. What more could you want?

Couple of qs:

1) What makes the home page more "exciting"? Busier? More graphics...?

2) Which of the products would you be the most interested in? (I'll be using Google Ads to collect conversion data to market test, but curious for your thoughts...)

1) More color and texture, I think. It doesn't necessarily have to be more graphics, but that's one way you could improve the product pages.

2) Startup Finance for Engineers :-)

In fact, I think if you add any Management or Decision Science type of courses to the "for Engineers" track, you would do very well. The beginning of a software process is always the most nebulous area for engineers, IMHO - all that stuff about people's emotional stake in what's being designed! Too many stakeholders! Not getting enough buy-in for something before you build it! At least, that's my problem today ;-)

Find a way to teach this, for instance: http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/mstc/multiple/node4.html

Not that I'm trying to tell you what to sell ;-)

Love the bit: "(by using a non-management science technique called ``lying'')"

One of the courses I was actually thinking about was "Corporate Politics for Engineers."

Corporate Politics for Engineers
Don't be a tease.

Meaning: Yes, I'd buy that too.

[covenantscave]

I can't make any tease-related promises... ;)

Seriously, I put together a draft outline for the topic "Corporate Politics for Software Developers."

I guess I'll add it to the list to test how the Google Ads convert. Any suggestions for keywords to find people who would be interested in that topic?
