Sensible iPhone game programming with Cocos2d

The frameworks that Apple provides for iPhone/iPad development are great for creating GUI applications, but not really intended for creating games. Cocos2d-iPhone fills in the gap by making common 2D video game abstractions available in Objective-C, while rendering graphics with OpenGL behind the scenes. It also provides an application structure for your game to build on, and includes a physics library, audio playback and mixing, and more. Spend your time building your game, not infrastructure!

Jack Nutting

Jack Nutting has been using Cocoa since the olden days, long before it was even called Cocoa. He's used Cocoa and its predecessors to develop software for a wide range of industries and applications including gaming, graphic design, online digital distribution, telecommunications, finance, publishing, and travel. When he's not working on Mac, iPhone, or iPad projects, he's developing web applications with Ruby on Rails. Jack is a passionate proponent of Objective-C and the Cocoa frameworks.

Android on everything that isn't a phone.

Google's Android operating system is spreading; you'll soon find it in cars, TVs, and even kitchen appliances! Chris will go over what special considerations need to be followed when building for devices that aren't mobile telephones, what options developers have for prototyping, and what opportunities are available to extend a developers skill and possible product lines. Knowledge of Android is a strong recommendation and familiarity with ARM prototype hardware is a plus.

Chris Hughes

Chris spends the daytime hours hacking on small computers like the iPhone and Android based devices. His internet fame grew when his exploits of the first generation iPhone were made public. Being featured on the front page from reddit to the Wall Street Journal. Chris has worked as a mobility engineer at Google, and in a twist of irony, later went on to join AT&T. Give Chris  a soldering gun, and a compiler and watch a number of voided warranties evolve into something cool.

Core Animation: Adding that extra polish to your UI

In this talk we will be discussing some of the small things that we can do to improve the presentation of our User Interfaces.  We will be walking through a number of simple enhancements to our user interface that, while taking a small amount of code, provide a richer experience to the user and help us to avoid interrupting the user's experience with unnecessary alert dialogs or surprising the user with unexpected results.

Marcus Zarra

Outside of Apple, there are very few people with a better understanding of Core Data than Marcus Zarra. He has not only written the book on Core Data, he has been doing iPhone, and now iPad, development as long as it has been possible to do so, and Mac programming for even longer. Marcus is the co-author of the programming blog Cocoa Is My Girlfriend. Marcus co-wrote Core Animation for Addison Wesley. Marcus is the owner of Zarra Studious where he builds Mac, iPhone, and iPad software.
