RubyMotion #inspect 2014: Last Speakers, Panel, Schedule

In about a month we will be launching our second annual developer conference, #inspect, the 28th and 29th May in sunny San Francisco, California.

RubyMotion #inspect 2014 will be a 2-day single track conference, 100% about RubyMotion. We picked an awesome venue, Fort Mason, a former US military post office which offers a scenic view of the famous Golden Gate Bridge.

We are obviously super excited about the conference. Make sure to grab a ticket when you can, we are selling those fast.

Last Speakers

We are now revealing the last 6 speakers, in addition to 16 already-announced speakers:

• Kevin Poorman is a software architect at West Monroe Partners and a certified Force.com developer. He authored several RubyMotion apps, all tied to the Salesforce enterprise resource, and will talk about connecting RubyMotion to enterprise systems.

• Andy Pliszka works at Pivotal Labs on large iOS projects. He will talk about setting up RubyMotion for Test-Driven Development (TDD) and how to leverage test-first methodology when building RubyMotion projects.

• Ivan Acosta-Rubio writes iOS apps using RubyMotion at Software Criollo. In his talk, Ivan will introduce the AV-Foundation framework and how to capture media on iOS and OS X. Let’s write some spying tools!

• Isaac Murchie works at Sauce Labs and will talk about using tried-and-true Ruby tools, such as RSpec, Cucumber and Capybara, to automate the testing of RubyMotion projects with Appium, in order to deliver robust mobile apps.

• Paul Colton is the co-Founder and CEO of Pixate. Paul will review the Freestyle framework and how it can be used to style RubyMotion apps using just plain CSS.

• Mark Villacampa works for Cabify on their RubyMotion app and is also a hardware enthusiast, hacking 3D printers. Mark will talk about connecting RubyMotion to hardware, walk through all the available options, and giving recommendations for the folks interested to try at home.

This ends our speakers selection for this year! If you submitted a proposal and didn’t get in we are truly sorry. We got a lot of proposals this year and it was tough to make the pick!

Panel

We will be organizing a panel dedicated to RubyMotion apps in production.

The panel will be composed of folks working on high-profile RubyMotion apps, such as Bandcamp, Jukely, A Dark Room (which is at the time of this writing, number one in the top-paid category of the US App Store!), and possibly Frontback and Jimdo.

We will discuss their experience, common pitfalls when working on a high-profile RubyMotion app, then take questions from the audience.

Schedule

We published the schedule of the conference. One keynote, 20 presentations, one panel. As you can see, it’s fully packed with awesomeness!

We still have tickets available, so if you want to join us, now is the time, register today!
