PayPal X Innovate 2009 is next week!
Sadly Tom and I won’t be at Innovate 2009. Not for lack of interest either. With Tom consulting now, and me being swamped with Conference work, well, our travel budget has temporarily shrunk. Why should you go? PayPal is opening up its platform to developers. For any developer who has needed a flexible, global payments solution, this is a very big deal. It will simply life for many developers who have struggled with integrating payments. As well, it opens up the doors for finally making money from doing what you are passionate about, something we both encourage.
I can’t even tell you how many times as a developer, AND a consumer I’ve wished for better integration with payment solutions. Not to mention, now that micro-payments are becoming the norm, it just makes sense to make collecting money easier for everyone involved.
Check out the event details, They’ve sold out, but if you’re local, they’ve got limited onsite registration space, don’t miss out!
The PayPal team has a great speaker lineup, including Tim O’Reilly as one of the keynotes. Attending will be some of the most innovative developers in the world of mobile, consumer electronics and financial services. Early adopters will demonstrate how they’re already building businesses on the PayPal platform.
All conference attendees will receive exclusive access to not-yet-released PayPal APIs. You’ll also get the chance to work directly with PayPal engineers and other developers during hands-on labs and code-and-build sessions and interact with PayPal’s leadership team.
360iDev San Jose 2010 – Call for papers!
That’s right! Fresh out of 360|iDev Denver we’re opening the call for papers for San Jose
Don’t worry, it won’t be closing for a bit, but we wanted it open for those who simply can’t wait until the next 360|iDev.
The format is the same as last time, just send us an email with the below information.
360iDev – USB Drive materials
we’ve collected a few more presos, as always, it’s not all of them. :) Some speakers just never give ‘em up. If there’s something you want that’s not in the archive, harass the speaker :) we encourage it.
This archive is the entire thumbdrive, it’s 160mb. From now on what we’ll do is only provide the files that are new or changed since the conference started, but this time we didn’t plan on that, so you have to DL the entire package. Sorry about that.
Hope to see you in San Jose!! The Call for papers is going to open soon, and registration is open for those early birds that want to grab the lowest price possible!
360idev – it’s a wrap
We’ve raved on this blog about the speakers already, so I’ll wrap that up with, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS AWESOME! That’s really all there is to say. Special thanks to David Whatley, not only did he agree to speak at the last minute, but also stepped up to moderate a frakkin’ awesome lunch time panel on “The App Store” that inspired us to make sure panels are a bigger priority in future schedules.
We had a really great time, Tom and I both agree, the 4 days of actual conference make up for the 5 months of looking for sponsors, selling tickets, dealing with hotels, etc. It’s so amazing to be with such an incredible brain trust, exchanging ideas, talking opening about troubles and successes in iPhone development.
