Last week we talked at CAMON in Alicante about the advantages and disadvantages of iPhone web applications, as opposed to native development using the iPhone SDK.

We explained how to address the main shortcomings of web apps to offer full-screen experiences that need no permanent internet connection to work.

The slides (Spanish only) are already available:

Update: the video recording of the talk is also available now at the CAMON website.

Last week took place the first Congreso de Desarrolladores de Vidojuegos (videogame developers conference) in Valencia, Spain. Organized by DOID, the goal of the event was to bring together as many people from the spanish games industry as possible. With more than 200+ people attended, from students to professionals developers working abroad, the goal was more than accomplished.

For us, the possibility to chat with fellow developers and expand our contacts network was great. The talks were also excellent overall, with speakers from companies such as Crytek, Grin, Pyro, Abylight, Rockstar or Virtual Toys. We can’t thank enough the organizers for their job and we hope CDV 2009 will be bigger and better.
