Day 1 – Introductions and Pitches

Day 2 – Dev Teams

Day 3 – Hackathon Presentations & Awards

More footage from iOSDevCamp 2012 available from our YouTube channel as well other sources.

iOSDevCamp 2012 marked two key firsts in Krithinka’s budding entrepreneurial career – it was her first iOSDevCamp and first hackathon. Her efforts for the weekend resulted in the Best Woman Entrepreneur Award for her app FoodFast. That’s not too bad for a 12 year old who’s “going on 13 soon.”

The organizers of iOSDevCamp are quite proud of Krithika — she exemplifies our tradition of having young people participate in our hackathon and she demonstrates of our core values of contribution, sharing, openess and “can do” attitude. We hope to see you again next year, Krithika!

Q&A:
• What inspired you to come to iOSDevCamp?
My mom inspired me to participate in the 2012 iOS hackathon. This was not only my first time, but my first hackathon.

• Tell me a bit about how you came up with your idea pitch and what it was like to present it.
My idea pitch was called FoodFast, and it’s a simple way to order food from your corporate’s cafe using a mobile device.

• How did you form your team?
The amazing Dom Sagolla helped me find Andrew Stone and Eli Stone, and I am so glad that he did.

• What was it like to collaborate with Eli & Andrew?
AMAZING. I am so glad that I was teamed up with them. They made me feel like family! At first, it took a while to be able to talk freely with Eli, but after an hour or so, I was so comfortable with talking to them both.

• Describe what it was like to present your ideas on Sunday night?
I was actually pretty nervous! When Eli said that he didn’t want to present with me, a little part of me almost died, but I knew I should give him a lot of credit, so I kept telling myself it would go fine. And I sure was right! It went so smoothly.

• How would you describe your key talents in this hackathon process?
I believe that I could be an entrepreneur when I grow up. My “key talent” would be developing ideas for these kind of things.

• What was your reaction to winning for Best Woman Entrepreneur?
Haha, quite shocked, actually! I knew I was against so many experienced developers.

Here is a short video feature video (7m19s) of Krithika brainstorming, her pitch, demo of the app 36 hours later, and Krithika’s team winning the prize:

Here is a look at the teams and links to their code. Yes, go ahead, please take a peek at their code!

Everyone wants photo filters, but why should developers waste time recreating Instagram? FilterKit makes adding photo filters to your app as easy as dropping in a library and calling our customizable FilterKit filter picker. Unlike existing Open Source libraries, FilterKit offers everything developers need to add filters to their apps: a filter framework, filter picker, filter builder and filter gallery. FilterKit is designed to be technology-agnostic: Our base filters were built using the GPUImage library but we plan to support CoreImage filters and future libraries as well.

In 2010 Ronald arrived in this country with just one suitcase and a dream to build the coolest Air Guitar device for the iPhone. In 2011 he raised $32K on Kickstarter; and in 2012 he shipped the first 700 units. Ronald received many requests from developers for access to our SDK. One problem: there wasn’t one to be had. That is, until 3am Sunday morning. Ronald created an open source SDK for developers to use his hardware in their games and apps. Basically, Air Guitar Move is an accelerometer, so developers now read accelerometer data from two hands (one being the iPhone). Imagine the cool interfaces possible with that. Minority report-like interface? Now possible. Super engaging guitar games? Now possible.

This is the place to post your specialities, and to find help for a specific skill. Also, it’s a way for us to stay connected throughout the year. Check it.

Our host, eBay’s Women In Technology group, has created a Free Ticket Discount code for use by any female developer, designer, or businessperson for iOSDevCamp 2012.

To inquire, please contact our manager Jennifer Holmes.

We are looking for more people like these two women who will be at this year’s camp:

Meet Jessica Scorpio. She founded Getaround, along with Elliot Kroo and Sam Zaid at our event in 2009. “20,000 lines of code, 2 days, and just 4 hrs of sleep later,” her team won Best Money-making App in our 2009 Hackathon Contest.

Getaround recently won Techcrunch Disrupt NYC, and is now a sponsor of iOSDevCamp. Brilliant work, Jessica!

Meet Alexa Andrzejewski. She wrote to me in 2009 just before iPhoneDevCamp 3, asking if we could help her find a team of developers, and we convinced her to attend. She recruited a team, signed them on the spot, and set about in deep focus to build a functional design. For their efforts and slick demonstration, “Foodspotting Lite” was awarded Best Social iPhone App.

Alexa and Foodspotting are now in their third year, and well-funded. Cheers to Alexa, Ted, and Soraya—may you dine well always.

See also last year’s video featuring many of the women involved in the past:

We are seeking a woman or a panel of women to speak in our side sessions. The talk can be inspirational or technical, or design-oriented.

Our host has provided plenty of space for families and children to spread out, and enjoy the sunny South Bay weather. There is a beautiful koi pond, and grassy knoll nearby which we use for our annual portrait. Let’s set a record with the number of kids this year!

It would be so much more fun if you were there! Won’t you join us?

Register now! Interested in sponsoring?

We are pleased to announce iOSDevCamp 2012, the seventh not-for-profit iOS developer conference produced by the original iPhoneDevCamp all-volunteer team. What was originally called ‘iPhoneDevCamp’ was rebranded as ‘iOSDevCamp’ in 2010 to match Apple’s new naming convention. This is a combined iPhone and iPad event.

We expect this to be the largest event yet, with over 500 attendees. Thank you to our lead sponsor, eBay for again offering its great facility for our event. For those of you who attended one of our events in the past few years, we will be using the same space, but eBay is increasing the available rooms to accommodate additional attendees. Thank you, eBay!

As a reminder, 100% of your registration fee goes to event costs. We are a not-for-profit all-volunteer group.

NOTE: This is not a training event. iOSDevCamp is for existing iOS developers and designers to build and demo new iOS apps within 48 hours, over our three-day event.

Who: Developers, designers, entrepreneurs for iOS.

What: 3-day weekend event, in the format of past iPhoneDevCamp and iPadDevCamp.

When: July 20-22 (Friday through Sunday), 2012

Where: eBay in San Jose, CA.

Why: We love the developer community!

How: It will cost a small amount to attend, with additional event costs offset by sponsors.

The event is inspired by BarCamp, SuperHappyDevHouse, and MacHack, to develop Cocoa Touch and Web-based applications for Apple’s iOS. This follows the previous iPhoneDevCamp events held at Adobe Systems in San Francisco, July 2007 and August 2008, Yahoo! in 2009, and eBay since then:

Out-of-town guests are welcome. Attendees will include iOS developers, web developers, UI designers, entrepreneurs and testers, all working together over the weekend. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts. While some attendees will wish to work solo during the event, we encourage attendees to team up, based on expertise, to work in ad-hoc project development teams. All attendees should be prepared to work on a development project during the event.

Attendees will be able to:

• Create new applications for iOS.
• Migrate Mac OS X applications to iOS.
• Test and optimize applications for iOS.

The event will feature:

• Simultaneous Events Worldwide
• Meetup Time on Friday with Refreshments
• Catered Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner on Saturday and Sunday
• Saturday Keynote (now accepting nominations)
• Open Mic for Questions
• Ad Hoc Sessions by Participants
• Late Saturday Gaming
• Sunday Keynote (now accepting nominations)
• Hackathon Contest
• Everyone Leaves with Something

We are committed to staying not-for-profit; all charges will go toward the production of iOSDevCamp, and the organizers don’t make a cent. The organizers are Raven Zachary, Dom Sagolla, and Christopher Allen. Our event planner is Jennifer Holmes. We are currently seeking:

• Your Registration
• Sponsors
• Keynote Speakers
• Hackathon Prize Donations

To get involved with the above, please email Raven, Dom, Christopher, and Jennifer: info@iphonedevcamp.org.

We hope to see you there!

I love this iOSDevCamp 2011 Highlights video, produced by our host PayPal, because it features almost everybody.

478 attendees — over 78 contest submissions — with unprecedented sponsorship and co-operation! Thanks for a great time, and congratulations to all who participated. (Special shoutout to those who traveled from Brazil, Japan, and India!)
