360iDev – Call For Papers Open
November is a long way away. I know that.
BUT once accepted, speakers can tweak their topic to their heart’s content, so long as it’s not a complete “Oh well it was this, and now it’s this completely different thing”
The call won’t be closing any time soon either, so there’s no rush.
The way it works (for those of you that haven’t spoken before) is this. You email us with your idea, answering all the items outlined below. That’s it :)
After we close the call for papers, we’ll make selections.
Haven’t spoken at 360|iDev before? it’s easy. We’re probably the most low pressure event around, and we love having new people from the community present. Many of our highest rated presenters, started out as attendees, then decided to share what they knew with the community.
360idev – Get your iPhone training on in New York City!
Our pals, Julio Barros and Jeff LaMarche, are doing a 3 day hands-on iPhone training class in New York.
It’s 3 days, in New York, with two incredible developers! Check out the course plan here.
If you’re in or around New York, check out this course. You won’t find a better pair to teach you everything you need to know. After all Jeff’s book is one of the best intro to iPhone dev books around.
This will be an excellent way to jump start your iPhone development, and then of course, you can top off your mental tank at 360|iDev Austin! Register now for $499!
360idev – the wrap up
Well, 360|iDev San Jose has come and gone. And while I work on the fall event. You know the one right after WWDC (assuming it’s announced soon) where we all publicly talk about the cool NDA stuff we’ve been playing with for months. You can enjoy the awesome session materials from San Jose. Download the [...]
360iDev – What to do when you arrive
We’re not GDC, or WWDC. There’s no waiting in a mile long line to get in, there’s not sea of thousands to wade through to get your badge. What there is, is 3-4 people working the registration desk. You can pick up your badge all day Sunday if you want to avoid the rush. If [...]
360iDev it’s not what you get, but what you take away
We’ve talked about ‘Who attends 360|iDev’, and I’m sure we’ve covered some of this before too. But I think it bears repeating.
360|iDev, is as much about what you take away, as what you get when you’re there. And NO I don’t mean SWAG.
When you leave 360|iDev on Wednesday you:
Leave with new friends. Friends you’ll stay in touch with online in between conferences, and reconnect with at the next 360|iDev
Leave with new projects. You met a great developer that you want to collaborate with, and a new game is born! (Just ask Keith and Natalia about teaming up with David Whatley on geoSpark)
Leave with new employees/employers. You’re hiring, or looking for work. Odds are good you’ll leave with resumes, or actual new hires/new employers.
Leave inspired. You’ll get home, jazzed about new techniques you learned, new concepts you picked up. New ideas you talked about over beers. With a keynote by David Whatley, a Wednesday General Session by Mike Lee, it’ll be heard to walk out uninspired!
Leave 6 months ahead of the curve. You’ll get home and start working on things that others won’t be thinking about for months. New libraries that haven’t hit the mainstream yet, new ways of writing code, new frameworks, etc. You’ll be ahead of the pack when they finally catch on to what’s going on.
Leave with new apps that just need to be cleaned up and submitted. The Game Jam (Sponsored by Touch Arcade!) is the birthplace of games like Hippo High Dive, Gravity Sling and more. Whether you’re a game developer already or not, attend the game jam. It’s Tuesday night thru Wednesday morning, and you won’t regret it. You’ll leave with more than you came in with Tuesday night, we promise.
As an iDeveloper (You know what I mean.) you have a lot of choices; iPadDevCamp the weekend after, Voices that matter in Seattle, etc. All things being equal, compare what you get from each and see what makes sense for you to attend. If you don’t agree it’s 360|iDev… Let us know. You won’t get as much technical content, community, and fun from any other event, really.
CHeck out the schedule, description of sessions, and of course, the awesome speakers list!

360iDev – iPad developers conference
the iPad runs the iPhone OS, so why wouldn’t we give it the attention it deserves? The best part is that we’ve already got sessions about it, which means, 360|iDev San Jose is the first/best place to go to learn about the differences between building games/apps for the iPad vs. the iPhone.
Several speakers have and are updating their sessions to address the iPad, Kendall is hosting a panel on Wednesday all about the iPad. (This isn’t like panels at other events, where there wasn’t an actual iPad present)
The iPad definitely represents the next step in the iPhone OS, and Apple’s mobile computing strategy, and app and game developers are chomping at the bit to release their wares for this awesome new device.
Get your iPad April 3rd, come to 360|iDev to unlock it’s potential.
