Smoovie on Tour

We hit the road last week and took Smoovie on tour. First stop was the Apple Store on Buchanan Street in Glasgow where the Glasgow Mac Users Group hold their monthly meetings. David Masters hosted the evening and, after we had all discussed the UK launch of the iPad and our favourite new apps, our very own Gavin MacLean took to the floor and presented Smoovie.



Thanks to everyone who was there and gave us such positive comments, especially John van Dieken who has become somewhat of a Smoovie evangelist since and has started posting some awesome stop motion on YouTube. Here is his very first smoovie.




Thursday evening we were in Edinburgh at MacMacDev. We had a great evening hanging out with 25 other Mac and iPhone developers. It was great to meet up with Matt Legend Gemmell, Fraser Speirs, Matt Farrugia and Neil Inglis again, as well as meeting some new faces like Gary Martin and Ian Mackay.

After a very early start on Friday we flew to Birmingham to attend NSConference Mini, an attendee driven conference put on by the Mac Developer Network for the UK people that couldn't make it over to WWDC in San Francisco. The event was pretty much sold out with around 75 developers in attendance. The sessions being presented had been voted for by the attendees and they were all fantastic. Our very own Gordon Murrison presented a session entitled "Building Better Software Quicker" in which he explained how Source Control, Unit Testing and Continuous Integration can be used to ease the pain of delivering quality software time and time again.



So now we are back home (or more accurately in the coffee shop) working hard on spreading the word about Smoovie and planning its future. We've got some great things in the pipeline and we can't wait to tell you about them. In the meantime, if you post a smoovie to YouTube, be sure to let us know. We'd love to see what you're creating!
