Colorado Software Summit - iPhone talks accepted!

I've been speaking at CSS for five years now (I can hardly believe that!). And I'm totally stoked to say that I'm going to get to again this year. Its going to be a slight change of topic for me though (and part of why I'm so excited).

This year I'll be talking about iPhone development instead of Java stuff, I'm really looking forward to it. Here are the two topics/abstracts that were accepted.

Core Animation on the iPhone

Core Animation is what gives the iPhone its distinctive and amazingly beautiful animated user interface. This session will focus on getting you up to speed on how animation on the iPhone works and how you can take advantage of it in your own applications. We will cover the various animation types and how to control their timing. You will also learn how to make animations that look and act like the would in the real world. The iPhone is an amazingly exciting platform and Core Animation is one of the technologies that make it what it is, come to this session and learn how to build applications that take advantage of this really exciting technology.

Building Location Aware Apps on iPhone

Ever get out of the cab and know there must be a Starbucks within 2 blocks of where you are standing but not sure which direction to go to get there? Well with the location aware API built into the iPhone you can find not only where you are but what direction you need to go to get where you need to be. In this session we will cover the API's that make these kinds of applications possible. We will also go over the best practices of how to make your application a good citizen on the iPhone when using the location API's.

I can't wait and I really hope to meet many an iPhone hacker at there!
