Learn the “Secret Sauce” of Developer Relations Programs – Webinar Info and Links

As part of my DevRelate webinar presentation, “Learn the Secret Sauce of Developer Relations Programs“, I am providing the links to the secret sauce info for the developer relations programs, highlighted features and other resources that I used in this week’s webinar. As I mention in the webinar, Evans’s Data Tactical Marketing – Developer Marketing and Developer Relations Programs – developer research reports and Developer Program Assessments are based on the years of Evans Data Developer Marketing and Developer Relations Program research, developers tell our clients that they care about many factors in a program and its outreach. I’ve created a long form checklist to do in-depth evaluations of Developer Programs. To get started I use my subset “At-a-Glance” checklist to do a quick evaluation program offerings. The long form checklist and quick check relate directly align with the results of our primary developer research.

At-a Glance Checklist – “Quick Look”

• SDK(s) / API(s)
• Programming languages
• Code / Samples Repository
• Platforms / OS supported
• Content / Knowledge
• Social Networks / Blogs
• Answers
• Forums / Newsgroups
• Spoken languages
• Developer Support
• Events / Activities
• Developer Program Cost
