Nice to be at a seaside resort on a sunny day! A great venue, the dome, unfortunately no sea and no sun for me, I stayed in, selling books and chatting to different people. In particular, I met: –

. Brian Fling, author of Mobile Design and Development. His book was a great success even though it is not yet published in the UK. I did sell all my advances and took several orders. Brian will be back in Europe soon for Design Week, 26-30 October in Barcelona.

. Aral Balkan showed me his new iPhone App which should hopefully be ready in two months. Watch this space – it looks great but I am not allowed to talk about it yet.

Have fun deciphering some sketchnotes on http://www.flickr.com/photos/psd/3888237888/, I am sure that these notes will tell you more about the talks than I ever could.

Altogether, I have the feeling that people enjoyed the talks and would like to come back next year.

Thank you Clearleft for putting up a great conference!
