Things are getting exciting these days: we have been invited to present SourceBinder at the FITC Amsterdam 2009. The conference will be held in February 2009, so be sure to check in if you are around somewhere. We have a lot of ideas how to make the presentation a live tutorial performance, but i can’t tell you more right now. The timing by the way seems just to be perfect, February should be the month to release a public version of Binder. There are quite a lot of things to do but it should be possible.

Anyway, have a look at the speakers list from the conference, what a cool selection. More info about the conference: www.fitc.ca

Our long awaited Flash Forward Award, the big rubber arrow just arrived with FedEx. It is surprisingly heavy, but makes a really good sculpture for my desk. The only problem is that everyone would like to touch it. Have a look instead..

We had the honour to present SourceBinder at an EU conference about the future of ICT in Budapest. The title of our presentation was “Highly innovative software engineering“. As we did not had time so far to create complex applications with SourceBinder to proove how good our framework is to prototype applications, we had to create one very fast. We started  one day before the conference so it was a nice challenge. Our goal was to create an application that visualize images put on a yahoo maps based geo tagging service, indageo.hu (sorry its in Hungarian) Our company made this system for a well known hungarian news portal index.hu, and with it’s service anyone can send MMS messages from hungary to a given phone number and based on the location that we get from the GSM cell information, the system puts the images right on the map. Images can be uploaded and put on the map as well.  More info in english about this sytem can be found here: guanxi.hu

Alright but back to the topic, the whole thing got ready 3 minutes before my presentation was due. I can tell, that was perfect timing.  But i can not complain, with the fact that such an application was ready in less than 1.5 days is a quite good proof on rapid protoyping.

The protoype: drag, zoom to navigate, click on thumbs to fly
