So, what’s happening for the rest of 2010?

Jon and I are hard at work wrapping up the author reviews (the final stage of proof reading) for our book, iPhone and iPad Game Development for Dummies – it’s so close to being done and that we can practically taste the day off that we’ll get! We’re also working hard on a really cool article for a pretty prominent technology – stay tuned!

We’ll be starting another awesome book project when the first one is finished – it’s going to be an amazing one, we promise you’ll love it!

As far as client work goes, Secret Lab is working on some amazing games for some very cool Australia, American and Canadian clients – you’ll start hearing more in the next few weeks as the wraps come off the various projects. We’re, literally as I write this, putting the finishing touches on some amazing fitness-based iPhone apps for an innovative new Tasmanian company – we think you’ll like what you see! And there’s so much more to come… stay tuned! Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want us to build an awesome app or game for you.

We’ll be speaking at, and attending, a bunch of conferences in the next few weeks and months (and years) – so please come and say hello if you happen to run into us! In the short term, we’ll be at (more to come):

  • /dev/world/2010 in Melbourne, Australia – late-September 2010
  • Unite 2010 in Montreal, Canada – mid-November 2010
  • OZCHI 2010 in Brisbane, Australia – late-November 2010
  • CreateWorld 2010 in Brisbane, Australia – early-December 2010
  • Interaction 11 in Boulder, USA – mid-February 2011

We’re also running, or creating the material for, a bunch of awesome training workshops! Just finished was Melbourne, Hobart, Brisbane, Sydney and Mountain View (USA) – soon is New York City, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Montreal, and many others! Check out the awesome feedback we got from some of the last few iPhone & iPad SDK workshops:

  • “It was very good. Best IT course that I have ever been on. (I’m old and have been on lots of courses)”
  • “This was the best course I’ve done in a very long time. I really liked the fast pace. The balance was very good.”
  • “High intensity but very useful. Not to mention a ball of fun. The presenters are great – I like the tag-team approach. Keeps the activeone from veering too far away or forgetting something.”
  • “Loved it, it was very enjoyable. Very easy to ask questions and helpful peers as well as teachers.”

    • It’s not too late to register for the New York City iPhone Boot Camp either: 13th to 15th August, in New York City – using material by Jon and I!

    That’s all for now!
