Auckland BarCamp 3

This year Marker Studio was involved in the 3rd Auckland BarCamp – both from a presentation and sponsorship point of view.

BarCamps are international user generated conferences – open, participatory workshop events, where the content is provided by participants. The Auckland version of BarCamp has happened three times over the past two years and has grown into one of Auckland’s best and well known web events. The event is put on by Ludwig Wendzich — a first year Auckland University student whose passion and excitement for the web has made the event so popular.

This year the day had the different streams broken out into specific topics:

1. Web technologies
2. Non-web technologies (mobile/desktop/etc)
3. Design/UI
4. Productivity/GTD
5. Misc

I presented twice during the day — the first was a 5 minute “rapid-fire” presentation on HTML 5. The next happened after lunch and was a full half hour discussion on the new elements available in HTML 5. Both my presentations are available on Slideshare.

As always BarCamp was a great day and I look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work Ludwig!
