When it comes to learning about a new framework, there's no better way than building things from scratch! Join me in this hands on workshop where we will start from a bare-bones HTML5 template so you can see how everything works from the ground up. By the end of the workshop, you will be equipped with the fundamental knowledge of how Vue.js applications work so you can use it in your own projects!

“You won’t be in control of your business until you can accurately predict it.” One of my early mentors and business advisors must have said that a thousand times over our time together—and it’s true. Running a web studio is hard. But you can either run your business or your business can run you—and I have always hated having a boss.

During this workshop we will cover how we run our studio (from planning for projects, cash flow, hiring, and sales) that centers around forecasting. I’ll share a relatively simple weekly cadence you can implement that doesn’t lose sight of the people. We will dig into the details and discuss the important metrics to track and what is just noise. Before long you’ll actually be in charge of your business.
