Don’t make the same mistake again!
Posted on October 4, 2017 Leave a Comment
I recently gave a talk at NSManchester, an IOS Developer Meetup group. The talk focussed on common mistakes that developers often make when developing apps. While the talk was focussed specifically on Software Developers a number of “mistakes” are directly relevant to end users and consumers who might be considering embarking on an app development […]

So we come to the end of yet another iOSDEVUK. This was my 6th year making the annual pilgrimage to Aberystwyth and as ever the conference didn’t disappoint. Amidst the usual visits to Weatherspoons, the sea front and the pier it was once again a pleasure to grace Rummers on Tuesday night! Work never seemed […]

I recently attended iOSDEVUK in Aberystwyth. There was a fascinating talk by Todd Kerpleman (@toddkerpleman) about using Firebase to perform A/B testing.

If you’re looking to integrate Firebase into your app then this tutorial looks specifically at how to integrate Firebase Remote Config into […]

If you’re anything like me then you will love a good developer conference! The opportunity to share and collaborate with like minded people is sometimes just what the doctor ordered to help make sure those creative juices are flowing. Unfortunately, in the UK we seem to have a lack of events; especially outside of London. […]
WWDC just around the corner
Posted on May 23, 2014 Leave a Comment
Apples’ annual developer conference WWDC is now only days away the rumour mill is rife with what to expect during this years event.

This week is Apples word wide developer conference in San Francisco. I’m here for the week, it’s 3am and I’ve just joined the queue for the keynote speech (7 hours to wait).
