I think the reason why there weren't so many examples is that the subject was a little too broad. For me it was a nice recap and some 'oh yeah, I forgot about that one'. Instead of a broad view, consider an in-depth talk on just one or two features (e.g. the manifest / offline stuff and localStorage) to get the maximum out of that.
Great talk on HTML5. I did not know that it is actually useable already, which is the only reason I stayed away from it ... till now. Thanks for pointing that out to me (and the coolness of HTML5 ofcourse).
The informal way of talking, cursing about browsers (especially IE) made it a lot of fun to listen to.
Keep up the good work and have fun at your talk in New Zealand.
It was a nice session and we've got a very good introduction on the possibilities of Sencha Touch 2. Which was easy to follow even if you did not have any experience with Sencha (like me).
Unfortunately most attendees did not prepare for the talk and did not download the SDK and tools so we wasted a lot of time waiting for everyone. This in effect forced Tommy to pick up the pace of the talk so we did not really have time to try all the examples he gave. Perhaps next time having a few USB sticks ready with the installs for various OS might help?
Natural speaker but the talking was way too fast and unstructured. Also I had trouble figuring out what the conclusion would be.
"So we have this problem and than you should do this but then again you really shouldn't because of this reason so you can do this but that has disadvantages too so maybe you can do this and now we will have the next problem which lead me to the next the subject"
Uhm... so what was your conclusion of that problem?
I experienced this many times. I really learnt a lot about pitfalls and possible techniques but I didn't get an overview of when to choose what technique and why.
Got even more depressed by the state of programming for mobile after this talk. PhoneGap is by no means a golden goose. Programming for mobile is still just a new version of trying to get something to work in IE6.
Not so well prepared, but not a complete #fail imho
Also for C# and completely Open Source.
I was expecting more examples and less theory. I wasn't convinced Jim knows everything he was talking about.
Sometimes a bit messy presentation, due to reusage of tutorial content. But you know your content so well that it wasn't a big problem! Got tons of information and a big incentive to do some research on this tool too!
Good talk but was lacking proper punch line. At the end presentation got lost.
Would like to see the slides of this presentation
