WARNING

what I was never taught: open source

nothing has made a bigger impact on my career than open source

who the fuck cares?

more specifically, why should you care?

food for thought

free software is good for business and innovation

the community free software builds is worth more than anything else

there is no better resume than open source code for all to see

software patents will eventually die*

* this is my own opinion/prediction

you can make money, too

GitHub

if you don't have an account yet, go register. right now. do it. there is no time!

Anyways: PhoneGap. wtf is it?

why go web stylez, PhoneGap?

web is good at multi-platform

javascript is everywhere

one team for web (desktop & mobile) + native apps

progressively enhance web apps with device APIs

example device API: contacts

take a web app...

and make native apps

just some dudes using PhoneGap, no big deal

Thanks! Next up: Angelina. Then let's go drink beer.
