[FOWA 2009] – Round Up Day One (Workshops)

This year was the first time I attended the FOWA workshops. The term «workshop» is actually a bit misleading because basically it’s just a platform for longer talks (3 1/2 hours) and therefore the opportunity to get a bit more into the detail about a topic.

So much in theory. In reality this can be handled very differently. The workshop I attended in the morning started one hour late but was very interesting. I learned about the framework Cappuccino already a year ago – but this year it all made much more sense to me because in the meantime I had played around a little with Objective-C and Cocoa. Objective-J is pretty much the same thing, just for the web. But hold on, not only for the web. Atlas is going to change this. But more about that tomorrow, we had to promise Francisco from 280North not to blog about it today… Very interesting stuff, I’ll have to dig deeper into this!

In the afternoon it was all about marketing. Well, let’s no waste to many Kilobytes here about it. It was not good.

Anyways, the Atlas workshop was it all worth already. And hey, the location was just awesome! Plus we got tons of free food, snacks and all kinds of drinks.

Looking forward to tomorrow when the conference will start.
