June 23rd, 2009Today was the first day of the Internet World here in Munich. It is accompanied by RIA World and Mobile Vision, so you get three conferences at once. Unfortunately their schedules are not synchronized, pretty uncomfortable. This event is a mix of conference and fair. You can find and talk to a lot of (mostly) german companies and get all the infos you need. And on the other hand you can get some information about those three topics in the talks at the conference. And as usual the beer at the after-party is for free, even for those who are only there to see the fair and don’t have to pay, as I understood it. So come for a free beer :-).

June 22nd, 2009At first we have to thank the organizers, it was a great event. Especially the developer day (~100 people) was so loaded with energy, ideas and enthusiasm – wow that was huge! It took place in Barcelona Activa a business incubator, obviously well known throughout Barcelona, the Taxi driver knew right away where to go. The offices in there looked like you wanted to work there, the style of the house was so interesting that I even walked the entire floor once, because everything was so open and felt constructive. If you want to move your business to Barcelona try it out. And this was of course the perfect place for the mobile developer day, a young and constantly exploring group of people, pushing the limits and full of energy to move the mobile web forward. The parties afterwards had been as inspiring and great for getting to know people as they had been fun.
The conference day was just as interesting and though it was also a pretty cosy atmosphere (I would say about 250 people) one felt the difference to the day before, it was more on the business level but always mixed with the understanding for the young mobile industry it’s technical hurdles and the rough edges it still has, it was perfect too. Having tapas under the spanish sun was just as perfect as the content and the people there. The range of topics, no matter if in a panel or solo had been amazing and I am sure that everyone heard something interesting. For all the slides, and hopefully some videos watch the mobile2.0 site, pics are as usual on flickr.
The next mobile2.0 will probably be in San Francisco around October. See you there …

June 10th, 2009On the 18th of May I attended the WebMontag that took place here in Munich. It was an interesting mix of (short) talks ranging from augmented reality, digital art (innovative UIs), podcamp, a too long discussion about twitter and it’s use inside corporations, to various marketing talks for companies and their services, and ending all this with a short (the most tech-related talk) I gave about our cloud-based (not only mobile) widget EventNinja.
The venue (Pressecenter der Messe München) was not really in the city center, but it was a very nice atmosphere there and awesome hospitality. Thanks, we are looking forward to more. You can read some more in depth on the discuss&discover blog and on the PHPUG Munich page.
Also I spent some time at the UXCamp in Berlin, this was another kind of BarCamp, topic-wise. Very interesting discussions about what front-end engineers and user interface designer see as their job description and area of work. It was really good to just get another view into the web world and step actually quite a bit away from programming, I can only recommend attending it.
May 28th, 2009As Wolfram already has posted in the last blog post, we are currently involved quite a bit in the mobile world and especially in investigating on how Dojo can be used best to develop for mobile devices.
Taking this as an opportunity we want to announce the next dojo.beer() in Barcelona on June 17th.
You can get all info about the event on the DojoCampus event site.
The day after, we are speaking at the Mobile2.0 developer day and will give a detailed introduction in how to write mobile applications using the Dojo Toolkit and making sure they are running on different platforms such as PhoneGap and the W3C widgets being supported by Vodafone.
If you are in Barcelona that week, feel free to get in touch and if you have time to join for drinks during the dojo.beer or the mobile 2.0 conference let us know. Please sign up using the poll below.

May 27th, 2009
The last weeks we have been pretty active in the mobile world, especially with W3C widgets. We had been in Dresden for the first Mobile BarCamp. The next weekend the Mobile Widget Camp took place and the 25th May was the deadline for “The Competition“, so we were pretty busy getting our widget into great shape (not only good shape!).
