Speaking!
Finished up the Web Design World workshop with Garrett.
Thankfully this is the last travel I have until WWDC in mid-June. My recent speaking schedule mixed with dealing with our crashed Jag on top of a full plate of billable has been a little nuts.
It will be good to have a little less going on for a while.
Here are my slides from my Web 2.0 Expo workshop on Mobile 2.0 and the iPhone.
Having “tested my material on the road” at Mobile Monday Austin and Over the Air, this line up of slides seems to have performed well. I guess that my talk “generated the most post-conference buzz for that day.”

Big Ass room for my Web 2.0 workshop!
I will be in San Francisco all this week. I will be speaking at Web 2.0 Expo twice this during the conference.
First I will be giving a 3-hour workshop on the mobile web design and development for the iPhone tomorrow:
Mobile 2.0: Design and Develop for the iPhone and Beyond
04/22/2008 1:00pm - 4:00pm PDT Room: 2022
Then on Thursday I will be on a panel with my friends and fellow mobile experts Kelly Goto and Russ Beattie.
From Desktop to Device: Moving into a Convergent World
04/24/2008 1:30pm - 2:20pm PDT Room: 2022
I will be visiting San Francisco with my family, so I will be spending some time at the conference and some time sightseeing and visiting friends. If you would like to meet up, contact me or direct message me via Twitter.
Here are my slides from last weeks Over the Air event.
Never one to shy way from a huge slide count, I tried to pack as much information about basic mobile design principles as well as iPhone site, web app and native app information as I possibly could into both of my hour long iPhone sessions. Feel free to use any of these slides.
I have several workshops and presentations coming up, so come out and say hello if you can.
My Presentations are Online
I wasn’t able to upload all my presentations to SlideShare until I launched the site. So this morning I’ve been trying to get the bulk of my presentations and workshops on SlideShare as well as my site.
So far I have 11 online with my most recent Over the Air presentation still being converted. I’ve also been trying to add some of my notes and recollections of each event.
I’ve been trying to retire all these slides and create an entirely new format, but in the past I just haven’t been able to find the time. I have a lot more workshops and presentations coming up over the next months and a plan for an entirely new style of presentation, which hopefully I will have completed this spring.
But in the meantime, feel free to use any of the content from any of these past presentations. If you want any of the Keynote files, let me know. I’d be happy to share them with you.
It amazes me when frequent public speakers show slides with more than 20 words.
Speaking Tip: If you have to read off your slides, chances are you’ve lost your audience. Keep it short and sweet.
The audience is more interested in your thoughts than your slides. Use your slides to trigger your thinking and keep you on track.
Heading to London for Over the Air (April 4-5)
At the request of Daniel Appelquist I decided to head to Jolly Ole England April 4 and 5 for Over the Air event, billed as the largest ever event of its kind for the mobile community.
From the event site:
Over the Air is a special event from BBC mobile, in association with Mobile Monday London and Hosted by Imperial College London. 48 hours of mobile and wireless development by and for the leading lights in the industry.
Some people are calling it Hackday for mobile but there quite different. Over the Air is focused squarely on the mobile and wireless platforms. These platforms are quite specialised and tend not to be very open to the casual bedroom developer or for the busy professional. Over the Air will be that chance many of us have wanted to try, play, experiment in this new interesting sector. Not only that, a chance to learn from our peers and industry leaders across the many platforms. Be it Android, Series 60, osX, compact .net, etc, there all welcome to join the over the air party.
I’m really looking forward to the event. It should be a ton of fun and great opportunity to connect with the mobile community. I’ll probably be leading a session on iPhone development. I will post more details once I have them.
