It’s been a busy week this week – I went to iOSdev UK, the national conference for people building software for iPhones, iPads and all those kinds of things. \r\n\r\n
I was talking about HTML5, which doesn’t fit precisely into the conference theme but is sortof relevant. The new HTML5 features let you do some of the things you can do on mobile devices without having to write specifically mobile code – so you can do graphics, access the location of the device, save things to the device, access the accelerometer, and so on. All from within a web browser. My slides and demos are here: http:\/\/users.aber.ac.uk\/hmd1\/html5\/<\/a> There were a load of cool speakers and I found the event surprisingly useful – as someone who doesn’t do mobile specific development, and who doesn’t even own an iPhone or iPad, I was worried about how relevant I’d find the conference. But it was great; there was a lot of fantastic inspiring content on how to be productive, and work together, and do geeky stuff in an interesting and creative manner. Here are my highlights –<\/p>\r\n\r\n The real highlight for me was Jan Pinkava’s<\/a> talk on creativity. My favourite quote? “I feel like Ned Ludd at a Jacquard Loom convention<\/i>“. He spoke for an hour with no slides about being creative and working in Hollywood. Quite a coup to get him to speak; he’d been in Aberystwyth to receive a fellowship at the uni (and he used to be in the department) so the conference organisers invited him – a fantastic talk and truly entertaining, full of ideas about creativity, inspiration, storytelling, and editing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been a busy week this week – I went to iOSdev UK, the national conference for people building software for iPhones, iPads and all those kinds of things.
