NZ’s Mobile Developer Conference

Building or selling mobile apps? Dev? Designer? UX? Marketing? iOS coder? Web designer? Windows 8 entrepreneur? Android expert? You are devmob. Come to the only conference in New Zealand for everyone who is pushing the limits of mobile platforms.  We’re in Albany, Nov 17 & 18, and you can be too!

“I have just had the best weekend of my life…I went there to make contacts, find work experience and to learn, I came out with that and much, much more!”
—Sam Jarman, iOS freelance developer, on NZiDev 2010

In 2010 and 2011, we were NZiDev and ran two crazy events for 150 iOS developers. But we noticed that, amidst the iOS folks, we had Windows and Web and Android people too. So we’re throwing the door open!

No Agenda Necessary

Once again the conference will be run in the unique BarCamp style by (un)conference guru Nathan Torkington. You set the agenda, you run the show.

Still run by developers for developers

Sessions topics reflect the interests of the people who attend. Find experts, share your experiences, demo your projects, find collaborators, maybe even hire or be hired. Driven by passionate developers, last year’s NZiDev covered everything from security and encryption, to start up myths, app store economics, marketing and interface design.

Guest speaker sessions

We’re pre-planning a few sessions for you this year: Designing For Mobile (Fragmentation), by Matthew Buchanan (Cactuslab) and Darren Wood (The Fold); Introducing Windows Apps by Nigel Parker (Microsoft); Automated UI Testing Using KIF, by Layton Duncan (Polar Bear Farm); What’s New in Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), by Julius Spencer (Julius Spencer & Associates); What It’s Really Like Developing For Windows Phone and Windows 8 by Ben Gracewood (Marker Metro); Mastering the App Store by Karl von Randow (Cactuslab); and more to come. Stay tuned for more. There’ll be something for every platform and every facet of mobile apps.
