Refresh Belfast: Ecliptic Launch
I decided to check out Refresh Belfast last Monday (August 17th) after hearing a few great reviews of previous events. This months Refresh Belfast featured the launch of Ecliptic who have been involved with a range of cutting edge iPhone projects.
A total of 7 talks were given by both Chris and Phil from Ecliptic which covered everything from Xcode to UI accessibility.
Everyone had a great evening and I can’t wait to try out the iPhone applications that Ecliptic will produce, from the sneak peeks we got on Monday they are looking like they will take the app store by storm.
On a side note the event got off to an interesting start with the original venue being double booked. With only 30 minutes to find another that could accommodate over 100 people and have all the necessary facilities, a projector and beer etc it would not be an easy task. Lucky for us Andy was able to secure us a room in the Stiff Kitten and using Twitter to get the word out, everyone was able to get there on time.
To round off an excellent evening I also was lucky enough to win a 16GB iPhone 3GS! It was the first thing I have ever won, how cool is that!? : )
It was great meeting the guys from Ecliptic at Refresh and I wish them the best of luck with their work.
I am looking forward to the next Refresh Belfast and hope to see you there!
