    John McKerrell's slides for Amazing iPhone event 2008 - Presentation Transcript

    1. John McKerrell iFreeThePostcode
    2. My Background
    3. 4thegame.com Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP
    4. multimap.com JavaScript, CSS
    5. Open Street Map Ruby on Rails, Cycling, Talking, Data Input
    6. MKE Computing Limited Software Development Consulting Geospatial Services
    7. iFreeThePostcode
    8. Free The Postcode! In the UK, postcode data is expensive. Crowdsourcing the data can make it free.
    9. iFreeThePostcode Puts collection of postcodes and locations into one app Simplifies submissions Increases number of contributors
    10. iRoute(?) Generates a route across Open Street Map data Currently simply displays list of roads you need to follow Future versions could be as capable as any sat-nav device
    11. iPhone Development Issues Objective C is a new language for many developers Have to be very careful with memory usage iPhone Simulator does simulate location apps well Debugging on the device involves a cost and is then fiddly to setup Can’t run processes in the background, makes location tracking apps impossible
    12. iPhone Development Positives Debugging on the device gives lots of feedback and, once setup, works really well The iPhone SDK makes it easy for you to create good looking apps in a short space of time The SDK gives you access to most of the features of the iPhone allowing the creation of novel apps
    13. Ideas for future apps Football app Fixtures and results per-team, league table, etc. mapme.at Location tracking, ability to find nearby friends Suggestions welcome!
    14. Thank you johnmckerrell.com john@mckerrell.net
