I’ve spent the past five years attempting to understand the changes to the software industry brought on by the iPhone and the app store. Most importantly, I’ve been asking the fundamental question of how we, as software developers, transition into this new era.

Last Monday at Mobile Portland I was able to give this presentation. It’s an expanded version of the one I gave at CocoaSlopes last fall, which was not available on video. I am introduced around the 7:15 mark, if you’d like to skip ahead.

Please enjoy and, if you’d like to follow along with a copy of the slides, please download them here.
