Remix Singapore was held on the 27th August 2009 evening, with an audience of 170+ attendees.
The crowd occupied the auditorium on the 21st floor of our office with some arriving as early as 1 hour before the scheduled start time. The registration took place smoothly and it was clear that many attended Remix for the very first time.
The sessions started promptly with Chris Chin sharing some of the new features for developers found in Windows Mobile 6.5; followed quickly by 3 different developers sharing their experiences in developing applications for Windows Mobile platform.
First developer on stage was from myWobile, who has a social networking LBS application that allows the user to find your friends as well as other points of interests. This was followed by a group of students from ITE who has won the Windows Mobile Development contest with their applications JuggleNuts. Lastly, YiPing from Human Network Labs presented their precise location identification system running on Windows Mobile. This generated a lot of questions from the audience.
I am sure this was an unforgettable night for the ITE students. Their application and presentation was well received by the attendees, making their instructors proud of the hard work and effort that they had put in. While they received assistance from an ISV, Duration Inc., it was clear from the ISV that the students were very independent and creative; always seeking out ways to overcome the obstacles that they faced.
Great work, team ITE! We hope to see more apps from you especially on Marketplace.
