Catching up with FOWA London

I’ve been pretty busy and productive in the last few months. New rental condo, furniture procurement, learning new tech, spending more time with family and very recently, purchasing a new (used) car.

Now that things are more in order I find I am able to choose were to spend my time. Frequently this involves thinking about previous initiatives that were placed on hold since they were not crucial either my wife or myself.

One such goal was to peruse all the free videos from last year’s Future of Web Apps – London 2008 conference.

Of all the London talks, I found the following to be the most useful.

• The Fear Factor by Tim Bray
• Technology & Psychology by Suw Charman-Anderson
• Future Mobile by Stefan Fountain (I recommend skipping the self advertising in the middle unless you really like Knight Rider)
• How to grow and nurture your community by Kathy Sierra
• How to build a desktop app from your web app by Jeremy Baines

I truly appreciate Carsonified for posting these materials. I am also proud to say I will be attending their upcoming FOWA Miami event on February 24th as a paying customer.
