January Mobile Devices

by David Kelley on January 28, 2009

Our meeting on the 12th was great.  We had to move our location for the next couple months due to issues with Lincon Square so we hope no one got lost although we only moved across the street…  even with that being the case, downtown bellevue can get kind of a maze.

We had two great presentations on iPhone development and designer ‘not’ experiences.   Matt Muller (with www.redbackconsulting.com ) and Devin Brown (www.identitymine.com ) both did great presentations.  The design experience for doing on phone applications turned out to be a huge bust.  The ‘apple’ tools are just not there yet however doing web experiences for the iphone using things like iUI turns out to be kind of cool if one is into HTML/CSS/JavaScript and related.  Both Matt and Devin have blogs and we hope to see up coming blog posts on the content of their presentations.

A few related links to Mobile Device Development include

Next month we are excited to welcome Brentt Christian from Sun to tell us more about the Designer Developer story around JavaFX and around the mobile story for JavaFX as well which promises pretty cool.  Hope to see you there.

Also a few of the ’softee’s were drinking some Silverlight coolaid as seen in the following:
