The Hearland Developers Conference (HDC) is the biggest technology conference in the area. It has been in Omaha for six years now and this year it was held at the QWest center in downtown Omaha. There was two great parties they put on, but the developers jam at the Slowdown was a riot. Thanks everyone for putting on all the great festivities. Below is a video of Joe Olsen, the director of Heartland Developers Conference talking more about the conference.
I gave two presentations: Connecting your iPhone app to the Web and Improving your iPhone Development Workflow. As it turns out, HDC is primarily a conference of Microsoft and Adobe developers. The audience factor set it hard a few nights before the conference as I asked around to people whom have attended before. I thought it would be better to broaden my talk titled Connecting your iPhone App to the Web a little more to a talk about mobile apps connected to the cloud and inter-twine the BigOmaha application code (as it connected twitter).
The BigOmaha app was used to illustrate using JSON for searching Twitter. To those who attended – I am sorry I rushed the code portion and spent too much time on the slides. :) Many folks seemed to like it, but I think to some it was too broadened and needed more code… which was rushed. In retrospec, my 30 minute talk about iPhone Development Workflow would been a better 60 minute talk.
Thanks to all who came to my talk. Keep in touch!
Joe Olsen, CEO of Phenomblue and Director of Heartland Developers Conference
