One of the most inspiring technical presentations I’ve seen in a while, Bret Victor’s “Inventing on Principle” explores what it means to guide your work on a principle, as opposed to following a passion or doing what you love. He demonstrates some very innovative tools for design & development. “Creators have to be able to see what they’re doing … see the effect of a change immediately.” Simply amazing.

Scott Jenson makes his case for Why Mobile Apps Must Die in this exploration of the pain points of native mobile apps and the inherent advantages the web has over them.

This talk will explain how applications must give way to a more universal approach to application distribution, one based on the mobile web and cloud services.

This is one of those talks I really wish I didn’t agree with.
