The Heartland Developers Conference is a premier developers conference that happens every October at the QWest Center in Omaha, NE. This year the event is October 15 and 16. Every event up to this year has been focused on Microsoft technologies for Microsoft peoples. Luckily Joe Olsen (who puts the event together) opened it up to all technologies that matter. Naturally I will be there to give two talks about iPhone development.
Last I heard this year was sold out. I can’t wait to meet everyone. If you see me there those few days and read this on the blog, please make an extra effort to say hi! Getting a chance to meet everyone is what I look forward to the most.
Naturally, I’ll be posting the two talks on this site shortly after the 16th of October. Check back soon…
Creating iPhone Applications that Communicate with the Web
Day 1 (1:00PM to 2:00PM)
Communicating with the web from an iPhone application is a core component to many fantastic apps on the App Store store. Since there is no official framework “web service” framework in the iPhone SDK, there is are a bunch of loosely mentioned methods to accomplish the task. I’ll demonstrate a few best of the breed techniques; including rolling your own framework and using a few popular open source alternatives.
Enhancing Your iPhone Development Workflow
Day 2 (3:30PM – 4:00PM)
The development process for the iPhone SDK is an ever learning process to an even seasoned Apple developer. After building many applications and frameworks, I am always refining my workflow for designing, building, prototyping and testing iPhone apps. In this session you’ll learn ways to enhance your development workflow from someone who has been working on these practices day in and day out. Some topics covered: Improve your productivity in XCode and Interface Builder, Design isn’t just graphics, prototyping, performance Tuning, debugging and working with data models.
