360idev – USB Hunt at WWDC is a go!
At the time of this writing Drive 3 is out and about. More will be following today and tomorrow.
They’ll be placed all around (maybe inside?) Moscone. I’ll tweet clues and pictures of their locations.
Special Thanks to Owen Goss, Nathan Eror, Shane Crawford, Chris Adamson, Yadong Liu, Cory Smith, and Saul Mora for the promo codes to some of their awesome apps, and games.
Each drive has a unique code for a free pass to 360|iDev Austin, this November, in addition to 8 promo codes from the awesome developers I mentioned!
This is a great chance for you to get some great apps, and a free pass to the best iPhone Developer conference around.
Can’t find the drives? Not at WWDC? Register now, before the early 100 tickets sell out. They’re already selling fast!
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 [...]
The Question is, 360iDev Europe?
Some of you might know that we’ve been thinking about taking 360|iDev overseas. We’ve done it once (and are planning to again) with 360|Flex.
We think it’s about time Europe got a taste of 360|iDev. The question is. Where? and how big is iPhone development in Europe?
We’re looking at Amsterdam and Germany, but are open to other ideas. The big question is, is there enough interest.
We very badly want to take the fun and awesome that is 360|iDev to Europe, but need to know there’s enough interest in Europe.
So what do you guys on the other side of the pond think?
Where should we go? Is Europe ready?
Spread this post around, leave comments, etc. We’re actively looking for as much data as we can get. Usergroup membership numbers, etc. It all helps ensure we do this right, and deliver the most kick ass iPhone conference Europe has ever seen :) (Dream big, right!)
Plug and Play Tech Center event tomorrow night.
This is primarily for our local to Silicon Valley peeps and anyone attending 360|iDev, who gets into town early! ;) Plug and Play Tech Center is hosting a cool iPhone Play: iPad event in Sunnyvale. Details are below! If you’re in the area, you should check it out! Looks like a great time! $15 bucks [...]
360iDev – Getting around San Jose is easy
If you booked your 360|iDev stay at the Marriott (or anywhere near it really), getting around is easy. We’ve got a shuttle that will run in the morning, and at night, Monday thru Wednesday.
All you gotta do is be downstairs when the shuttle is there and you’re all set, ride in comfort from the Marriott to Ebay Town Hall.
The shuttle schedule is below, make sure to keep it in mind!
April 11th:
Morning 7am – 8am
Evening 7:30pm – 8:30pm
April 12th
Morning 7:30am – 8:30am
Evening 7:30pm – 8:30pm
April 13th
Morning 7:30am – 8:30am
Evening 5:00pm – 6:00pm
Sleep in? No worries. If you miss the shuttle, the VTA station right outside the Marriott will get you to Ebay Town hall in no time at all (well, actually about 20 minutes). It’s about $2 for a 1 way ticket.
And of course there’s plenty of parking at ebay, but it fills up fast so don’t mess around if you’re driving in.
register for 360|iDev now!

360iDev – Wiki
If you saw the announcement of BOF sessions, you know we have a wiki we use for the ad hoc stuff around the conference.
We updated the wiki for one more bit of ad hoc. Activities.
If you’re planning a trip to the mothership or hitting a specific bar one night, or a movie on Wednesday or lunch on Saturday before the conference, whatever. Post it on the activities page of the wiki.
This way folks looking for the fun, can find it easily ;) It truly does suck to have to hunt for fun :)
On the main page of the wiki is also a few links for hotel searches in the area. If you missed the room block, shame on you, but we don’t want ya sleepin’ on the street, so check those links for other options.
360iDev – Volunteer to help out and get in free
We realize that the economy still a little suck-tastic. As you may know we try to keep our events as cost effective as possible, 40 sessions, Sunday hands on. Hotel block pricing to help lower the cost of staying near the event, etc.
Sometimes it’s not enough, we get that. Back in September we experimented with having volunteers. We’ve had temps at past events (360|Flex San Jose ’07 and Seattle) and while that works ok, we tried to reduce the need, because that helped keep our costs low.
BUT
We’ve realized, time and again that we still need manpower at certain points, and in fact we’re planning to increase our need (More on that later).
Registration is a bottleneck, whether it’s just Tom and I, or my wife Nicole, or anyone else who pities us in our time of greatest need.
SO…
360iDev make a video win Adobe CS4
Blah blah, Flash this, Flash that :) CS4 is an awesome tool for anyone doing design work, let alone if you do any HTML work (Dreamweaver anyone) You’ve got about 2 months until 360|iDev, we’ve got a contest. Make a video about 360|iDev, win a copy of Adobe CS4. Not a trial, the full blown [...]
360iDev – Get your iPad Dev on!
So yeah, iPad this iPad that :) The best part of Apple’s new iPad, is that it runs the iPhone OS, that means our awesome speakers and attendees now have one more kick ass platform to write apps and games for.
That also means that 360|iDev is now THE event for developers writing apps for the iTouch, the iPhone, or the iPad. You won’t have to wait for WWDC, or for the next 360|iDev around the end of summer some time. You can get awesome iPad related sessions right now, this April.
