User Group Tools Presentation

Here’s a presentation I delivered for the San Diego User Group a few weeks back, I wanted to share it here in case any of the tools I mention are able to save you time, or simplify your life at all. (Special shout out to Shoan for thinking to set up a camera and record this!) The video is roughly an hour long, so feel free to use the time stamps below the video to jump to the parts that you’re most curious about.
