A Beautiful Mind: Anatomy and Architecture of the iPhone App
The iPhone has captured the hearts and minds of mobile OS designers. Bess Ho leads you through a fast-paced session designed to review the art and science of the iPhone App and how similar techniques can be used for Android, Palm and other OSes. Learn the underlying foundation of Objective-C & Model-View-Controller (MVC).
This session will reveal the pixels of UI elements and libraries, anatomy of UI layouts, device orientations, device features and limitations. Bess will also showcase a gallery of best designed mobile apps.

Bess has demonstrated to us all in her presentation that she has the ultimate brain power to help the world with her expertise & talents to make powerful medical apps for the iPhone to assist in saving millions of human lives, a true humanitarian with hi tech visionary who can really help this suffering planet.
Bess clearly knows a lot about mobile development. Her presentation was very comprehensive, covering all the major mobile platforms. I learned a lot of useful information, especially about the iPhone and Android SDK capabilities.
I absolutely enjoyed this presentation! Bess Ho presented such a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation that allows a non-technical person to understand the basics of an iPhone app, but at the same time, providing code related issues for developers to think about.
Bess Ho is entertaining and a wonderful presenter. She is in tune with the audience and kept it very engaging.
I was amazed by the number of people who had iPads/iPhones
w2e (nearly everyone!!), but there was also a number of people who had no idea how to use an iPhone. LookingBeth’s slideshare, it looks like she tried making the presentation as accessible as possible, while including more specific code-related details in the last few slides.P.S. It’s neat to see a brief overview of the Android SDK at the end of these iPhone slides!
Bess did a great job in doing cross platform comparison of the features that are available in today’s smart phones. For a developer who is starting to write code for smart phones that really gives me a good primer and idea of the issues I should be ready for.
I enjoyed Bess’ presentation, but was disappointed that it didn’t dive a bit deeper into the technical aspects of developing apps for iPhone/Touch/Pad.
Slideshare.net team just inform me that my “Beautiful Mind” PPT is selected to feature on “Spotlight” section on their homepage. Only 6 PPT are selected from Web20Expo SF today. It is picking up traffic quickly.
This speaker clearly put a ton of effort into all those slides. Moreover, her talk was thematically structured in a most creative way, which was such a great way to kick off the morning and mobile track.
Most impressively, the speaker deeply understood the full (and still untapped) medical potential of the iPhone and inspired the audience to help realize it.
In conclusion, we sorely need more technologists who have devoted themselves to using technology for social good, such as this speaker, to speak at O’Reilly conferences. As such, I applaud O’Reilly for proactively identifying such an altruistic individual.
