UIKonf!

Posted on May 23, 2016

I'm sitting here in a beautiful theater in Berlin, preparing for the UIKonf presentation that I'll be giving in a few hours, titled An Indie's Guide to Profitable Apps. If this sounds interesting to you, you can watch the live stream today at 17:00 Berlin / 16:00 London / 11:00 AM New York. If you'd just like to see the slides, please feel free to download them. Thanks to Engin, Maxim, and Sabine for hosting me in Berlin.

I Left My Wallet in San Francisco

Posted on April 19, 2016

The big news today, of course, is WWDC. With its announcement yesterday, my Twitter timeline is blowing up with people making plans. But to a greater degree than has been usual in years past, it's also blowing up with friends and developers wondering if they can attend this year due to the expense. San Francisco is expensive even on the best of days, but it seems to be off the charts this year. With hotel rooms during the week of WWDC going ...

Alt Alt Dub Dub

Posted on June 4, 2014

tl;dr: Come join us in the Parc 55 to watch WWDC sessions as they they are released. Space is limited and there is a small daily fee to offset the cost of renting a room. I came to WWDC 2014 without a ticket, as did a lot of other developers this year. Even if you don't have a ticket, just being in San Francisco for WWDC is a great time, but not having a ticket makes it tougher to watch all the sessions you want to watch. Apple addressed this ...

How to Attend a Conference

Posted on September 28, 2012

I wrote earlier that I attended 360iDev a couple weeks ago. I also got a chance to attend SecondConf in Chicago last weekend, where I had the opportunity to speak. SecondConf was a lot of fun, but I couldn't help but notice that a lot of people weren't getting as much out of the conference as they could have. I just wanted to walk up and say, "You're doing it wrong!" I resisted that temptation, but in a spirit of helpfulness, I thought that I'd ...

360iDev Conference, 2012

Posted on September 17, 2012

I've now had a few days to recuperate since returning from the 360iDev conference, recently held in Denver from September 10 to September 12, and I have to say it was a great time. While I was there I met a lot of great people, renewed some online friendships, and learned a lot as well. John Wilker (@360iDev) and his wife put a lot of time and effort into attracting quality speakers and making the whole show run smoothly, and it showed. In this ...
