iPhoneDevCamp2: 1st-3rd August 2008
by Imran Ali
A few hours ago, Raven Zachary announced the second iPhoneDevCamp, taking place at Adobe’s San Francisco offices during the first weekend of August.
Styled around the BarCamp unconference format, the weekend’s events will focus on the development of applications for iPhone and iPod touch, using Apple’s own SDK for native applications as well as web-based applications.
In Raven’s own words…
Attendees will include Cocoa Touch developers, web developers, UI designers, and testers, all working together over the weekend. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts. While some attendees will wish to work solo during the event, we encourage attendees to team up, based on expertise, to work in ad-hoc project development teams. All attendees should be prepared to work on a development project during the event. Attendees will be able to:
- Create new applications for iPhone and iPod touch.
- Migrate Mac OS X applications to iPhone and iPod touch.
- Test and optimize applications for iPhone and iPod touch.
Interestingly, iPhoneDevCamp2 will take place shortly after the much-anticipated launch of the second generation iPhone and, more significantly, the launch of the iPhone App Store. Providing attendees with not only the means to innovate, but also an environment within which to distribute.
Last year’s event was indirectly responsible for the upsurge in demand for unlocked iPhones. Let’s hope Apple is paying attention and looking to see unlocked handsets right from the get go.
