360iDev – The Speakers – Brent Simmons

We all know who Brent Simmons is, we all use (really? you’re not? What’s your deal?) Net News Wire, or some Newsgator product.

This September in Denver, Brent will be talking about “Building Custom Media Apps with NewsGator’s iPhone Framework

Not only has Newsgator created an great iPhone RSS reader, but now there’s a framework for building kick ass iPhone apps, from a company that’s no slouch in the ‘kick ass app’ department.

With NewsGator’s iPhone Media App Framework you can easily build iPhone apps like All Things Digital’s, with news, thumbnails, audio, video, and photo galleries. The framework also supports endless customization, from modifying the built-in views to adding entirely new features and user interface. You can use the framework as a foundation: let it handle the basics, so you can spend time on the cool parts of your app.

Make sure you register before the final ‘cheap’ registrations run out. Only $360 before the price goes up to $500. Still a bargain for sure, but why pay more when you can act now! We’re almost out of those tickets! Register Now!

360iDev speaker and attendee badges

I’ve never liked the term ‘blog bling’ it’s retarded, however I do like to see blogs that indicate the events the writer is attending. I think that’s kind of a cool shout out to the event, that it’s worth some real estate on the persons site.

That said, thanks to our pal Anthony we’ve got some images to use for badges and stuff! This is a first pass, we may refine or improve them as time goes on (who am I kidding, probably not gonna happen). Go ahead and download the speaker or attendee badge. Just right click save as.

Pretty straight forward and simple, if you’ve met Tom and I, you’ll know that’s how we roll! :)

Can’t wait to see these around the blogosphere!

Not registered for 360|iDev? Better hurry, tickets are moving fast! Register Now!

Update:  Here’s another speaker one:

360iDev mentioned on the App Show

appshow_logo_144Chuck Smith, our best pal (and huge force behind a 360|iDev Germany) representin’ over in Germany was interviewed for the pre-WWDC episode of the App Show, where Chuck and the guys have a good chat about 360|iDev.

Good on ya guys!

Steve and Dave have a great show, I’ll admit I hadn’t heard of it, but it’s in iTunes now! If you haven’t listened to the show, you owe it to yourself to listen, they cover the news and rumors, talk to developers, good stuff.

Don’t worry, we’re not gonna close the call until after WWDC, for all you cool kids working with features of [redacted]. My hope however IS to close it very soon afterward and get session selection underway.

So if you’re not working with anything that requires the release of [redacted] fire off a submission. If you are, you can still submit. We’re under the same NDA you are and the submission information is closed only to Tom and I.

For those of you who missed 360|iDev in San Jose earlier this year, you missed out, but you now have a chance to redeem yourself. You can pitch a topic, or simply register to attend. Registering early gets you the best price. We tier our pricing, the first 100 are only $360, after that the prices goes to the regular price of $480. IF you’re at WWDC, track Tom or I down and we’ll hook you up with a special, “I found Tom and John” price of $200.

This is gonna be a great event! 4 days of incredible speakers, incredible content, and of course awesome parties with Rock Band and Guitar Hero!

Register now before the price goes up!

360iDev Slides on SlideShare

We promised we’d get them uploaded, and yeah it took longer than planned, sorry about that. I spent some time the last week and went ahead and uploaded each deck.

Those that have example code, right now we don’t have the code up, but if you email us we can zip it up and make it available on FTP.

Enjoy the slides

If you don’t see a slide for a session you’d like, let the speaker know :)
