			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is about the usability talk I gave at the Munich satellite of iPhoneDevCamp on 2009-08-01. Since the language at the camp was german, so was my talk and so is the rest of this post.</p>
<p>Ich bin immer noch sehr begeistert vom Camp und den vielen interessanten Personen und Vorträgen die ich dort kennenlernen durfte. Insbesondere der Vortag von <a title="Cultured Code" href="http://culturedcode.com/">Cultured Code&#8217;s</a> Andreas Linde zu &#8220;Mehr Effektivität im Entwicklungs-Prozess&#8221; hat mir direkt weitergeholfen den Betaprozess meiner eigenen iPhone App zu verbessern. Ich hoffe die Folien dazu gehen bald online. Die Videos vom ersten Block der Präsentationen (App Records, iOutBank und Holger Frank) sind bereits <a title="iPhone Dev Camp 2009" href="http://barcamp.org/iPhone-Dev-Camp-2009-Munich">online</a>, der Rest sollte in den nächsten Tagen folgen.</p>
<p>Nach den Jungs von Cultured Code, trat ich deren (große) Fussstapfen und hielt meinen Vortrag zu Usability und rief die Selbsthilfegruppe der anonymen UI-Missbraucher ins Leben. Die Folien dazu gibt es übrigens (zunächst einmal) <a title="Anonyme UI-Missbraucher Slides" href="http://fudgy.de/talks/iPhoneDevCamp2009.pdf">hier</a>.</p>
<p>Neben dem vielen Lob für das Thema und den Vortrag an sich (vielen Dank!), gab es auch fast genauso viel Tadel an der Gestaltung der Folien selbst. Zu meiner Verteidigung: Ich musste sie in (wirklich) kurzer Zeit erstellen. Trotzdem empfand ich sie selbst bei weitem nicht so schlimm. Für mich zeigt das vor allem mal wieder sehr schön, wie schwer es wirklich ist, die Qualität seiner eigenen Arbeit zu beurteilen. Das gleiche Problem plagt einem beim Entwickeln von UIs und deren Interaktion. Da der Entwickler (oft) als einziger die ganzen Annahmen und Entscheidungen hinter seinem Werk kennt, ist die UI aus seiner Sicht natürlich intuitiv und nahezu perfekt. Deshalb ist Feedback von &#8220;außen&#8221; meiner Meinung nach einfach unersetzlich und ein wichtiger Punkt im UI-Designprozess. Dabei heißt das nicht, bei jeder Kritik sofort in Panik zu geraten und schlagartig die ganze UI umzuwerfen. Aber wenn mehrere Personen über die gleichen Fallen stolpern, kann man stark davon ausgehen, dass dies in Zukunft auch weiteren Personen widerfahren wird.</p>
<p>Jedenfalls, sollte es ein iPhoneDev Camp 2010 geben, bin ich definitiv wieder dabei! Außerdem möchte mich noch mal bei App Records und <a title="Boinx Software" href="http://boinx.com/">Boinx Software</a> für die professionelle Organisation bedanken!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago Christoph wrote in a comment that my blog is feeling so abandoned, that it has started a life of it&#8217;s own and is announcing old postings as new ones via RSS. Maybe the WordPress update I ran last week is the culprit here. Anyway, this seems like the perfect opportunity to start blogging (again).</p>
<p><strong>So, I wanted to write a few lines about what I&#8217;ve been up to during the last couple of months.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>First of all, late this june I&#8217;ve decided that I wasn&#8217;t really all that committed to spend my 20-weeks intership (which is required as part of my studies at the <a title="Hochschule Ingolstadt" href="http://www.fh-ingolstadt.de/">Hochschule Ingolstadt</a>) at Nokia Siemens Networks. Working on enterprise software is a very interesting field in itself, especially since the challenges are not so much on a technical level but more so on an organizational one. As I&#8217;ve experienced, it is REALLY hard to get even the most simple form processing-type (think office material order request) apps up and running, when you&#8217;re rolling out in 10+ countries at the same time while trying to train all the users in all the countries to use the new software and its processes.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I found that at the moment I&#8217;m much more interested in working with cutting edge technology and learn as much as I can about getting user interaction design right (or a little bit more right).</p>
<p>So I went out looking for an internship more in sync with my current interests. With my ever growing interest in developing software for everything Apple, I soon stumbled upon munich-based <a title="equinux AG" href="http://equinux.com">equinux AG</a>, makers of the Apple Design Award winning iSale. After an interview with CEO Till Schadde and my possible future manager, I found out that equinux was about to get into the iPhone software business and that they were interested in me joining them as an intern.</p>
<p>After some thinking, I&#8217;ve decided to quit my scholarship with Nokia Siemens Networks and accepted the equinux offer. I started out in early september and right from the beginning I&#8217;ve gotten the chance to work on an iPhone App that shipped a couple of weeks ago. Seeing our &#8220;TV Movie&#8221;-App (a german tv guide) on sale in the App Store was a big thing for me, even more so as it went on to become a TOP 10 bestseller. I&#8217;m having quite a ball at equinux at the moment and will write a bit more about the creation of &#8220;TV Movie&#8221; soon.</p>
<p>Then of course I finally moved to Munich, which was something (corny as it sounds) I&#8217;ve been dreaming of since a long time. Together with my mate I found a HUGE three room apartment in the east of the city and I finally feel a little more grown up now <img src='http://fudgy.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Everything here is just so full of energy and the nightlife is amazing. And finally: <a title="digital cinemas" href="http://www.cinema-muenchen.de/">digital cinemas</a> with original language films &#8211; aww the joy.</p>
<p>Finally, what also kept me a Busy Beaver the last six months was the development of my first real OS X desktop application. It all started out with a visit to the <a title="Ars Electronica Center" href="http://www.aec.at/">Ars Electronica Center</a> in Linz this april and the idea kinda matured from there into what might a real product. Stay tuned&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh and: as of today the language of this blog will be english, since I&#8217;m planning to write more on Mac and iPhone development topics. We&#8217;ll see how that works out <img src='http://fudgy.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
