Introducing CFP Manager to Manage Speaking Engagements for the Team

May 1, 2026

Are you speaking at Meetups, conferences, and other events frequently? How are you keeping track of the call for papers (CFPs) that you've submitted? Are you using messy spreadsheets?

Tracking your submitted sessions can be messy and complicated. If you're doing this as part of a team, managing those upcoming engagements can become increasingly difficult.

I'd like to introduce CFP Manager, a tool I created to manage the full speaker experience from before the event, after the event, and your next event. No more spreadsheets, no more guessing, just an overall improvement to your process. And the best part is that you can sign up and start using it for free.

I'm pleased to announce that the course, Blogging with WordPress for Beginners, has been released to The Polyglot Developer courses portal.

So what does this course attempt to accomplish?

If you're interested in starting a blog to represent your brand and grow your audience, you'll see how to do this using WordPress, a popular content management system (CMS), and a strong search engine optimization (SEO) strategy.

I'm pleased to announce that The Polyglot Developer has its own courses portal, a replacement to Udemy and Gumroad!

The Polyglot Developer Courses Portal

The new portal, powered by Teachable, is a dedicated area for development courses relating to the material typically found on The Polyglot Developer blog. The portal will contain a variety of courses, some of which are free, and some of which are paid, but all of which are offering a premium learning experience.

I wanted to take a moment to explain what you'll be able to find in the courses portal and some of the longer term goals of what it hopes to accomplish.

After having thought about it for quite some time, I've finally decided to start a developer user group in my home town of Tracy, California. This group titled, The Tracy Developer Meetup, was started to give developers living outside of the Bay Area, a chance to collaborate with other developers in the same position.

If you're unfamiliar with Tracy, it is a town about 1.5 hours from San Francisco and Mountain View, but significantly more affordable and home to many engineers that commute to the Bay Area for work.

Back in 2014 I started blogging on The Polyglot Developer which was previously known as Nic Raboy’s Code Blog. Since then I’ve published more than 250 blog articles, more than 100 video tutorials, and even three premium courses. The Polyglot Developer is evolving again, this time with premium members only content in addition to the free content I plan to continue to produce.

Here we’re going to see about what is coming on this blog and how it can benefit you, the awesome developer and loyal subscriber to my content.

A few days ago I announced via my email newsletter that my blog, Nic Raboy’s Code Blog, found at blog.nraboy.com was going to be rebranded to The Polyglot Developer, found at www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com.

I am pleased to announce that this transition has already taken place and this blog is now known as The Polyglot Developer. If you typically land on my blog via a Google Search result, don’t worry as I have appropriate redirects in place to ensure you end up where you need to be.

So why did I decide to make this transition?
