Do you have a great idea for an iPhone app with no idea how to make it a reality?
In their “iPhone Apps: From Concept to Launch” workshop, Small Society’s iPhone experts Raven Zachary and James Keller will walk you through the process of bringing your iPhone application to market—from the initial concept all the way through launch.
While the workshop does not cover iPhone programming, it will appeal to anyone with a good app idea, whether you’re an entrepreneur, web designer, developer, or just a passionate iPhone user.
iPhone developers will benefit from this workshop as Raven and James share best practices learned in the process of launching over a dozen iPhone apps ranging from some of the world’s biggest brands to the smallest startups.
The world of photography is changing at a rapid pace. Our traditional skills are no longer making the most sense because our format has begun to shift from print to online. In his half day workshop “Photography Tips from the New School“, fashion and music photographer Kris Krüg will provide practical insight on how to navigate in this online landscape.
Kris will discuss creating your own style through photo manipulation, publishing on multiple online channels, the changing faces of photography equipment and software, in addition to setting up the composition of a shoot and lighting techniques.
In a few hours, photographers of all levels will have the knowledge to navigate the online world with confidence! This workshop will also include a photowalk with Kris!
BTW, Kris is a fervent evangelist for open culture and creative commons licensing and frequently speaks at conferences and the media about the blurring lines between pro and amateur, shifting copyright standards and using technology to promote and share artistic work. Kris realizes art isn’t created in a vacuum and a vibrant community is key for culture to flourish – with this in mind, he organizes photowalks and workshops for newbies and veterans alike to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Web APIs are the building blocks of powerful social applications, and sites like Flickr and Twitter have created a real demand for them. All of the cool kids are using them, and you can learn Web API tips, tricks and secrets from Tom Hughes-Croucher, Senior Developer in Yahoo’s Open Strategy Group, for a half-day workshop on Mix-n-Match Web APIs.
Okay, here’s the scoop: Tom’s workshop will explores some core tools, such as the Twitter API, Google Maps, and YQL to create some amazing social experiences. After this workshop, participants will have knowledge to quickly build entire applications using only web services to prototype ideas, employing the vast range of web APIs available.
Tom will be a busy guy at WebVisions with sessions on “Let’s Run JavaScript Everywhere” and “Cloud Peering” with co-presenter Carlos Bueno.
Erin Malone is the founder of Tangible UX and has over 20 years of experience leading design teams and developing social experiences for the web. Prior to Tangible, she spent four years at Yahoo! where she founded the Yahoo! Pattern Library, and we’re excited that Erin will present a workshop on “Designing Social Interfaces” with her cohort, Christian Crumlish.
In their three-hour workshop, they’ll explore the landscape of social user experience design patterns and anti-patterns, focusing on the contexts in which specific interface designs work well and the unintended consequences that make some UI ideas seem like a good idea until they turn around and bite you in your app.
So, in brief: take their workshop, look smart and do great work.
