In the meantime, if you post a smoovie to YouTube, be sure to let us know."Smoovie will help you to create a lesson that your children will remember, whatever your subject." * FIVE STARS * We’ve got some great things in the pipeline and we can’t wait to tell you about them. So now we are back home (or more accurately in the coffee shop) working hard on spreading the word about Smoovie and planning its future. Our very own Gordon Murrison presented a session entitled “Building Better Software Quicker” in which he explained how Source Control, Unit Testing and Continuous Integration can be used to ease the pain of delivering quality software time and time again. The sessions being presented had been voted for by the attendees and they were all fantastic. The event was pretty much sold out with around 75 developers in attendance. It was great to meet up with Matt Legend Gemmell, Fraser Speirs, Matt Farrugia and Neil Inglis again, as well as meeting some new faces like Gary Martin and Ian Mackay.Īfter a very early start on Friday we flew to Birmingham to attend NSConference Mini, an attendee driven conference put on by the Mac Developer Network for the UK people that couldn’t make it over to WWDC in San Francisco. We had a great evening hanging out with 25 other Mac and iPhone developers. Thursday evening we were in Edinburgh at MacMacDev. So now that we have proved that 3 year olds can use Smoovie, is the next step to look for some 103 year olds to try it out on? Here are some of the masterpieces that the kids came up with. Using the Apple Remote to take pictures was a big success and smoovies were produced at a surprising speed. They were absolutely engrossed in what they were doing and, once we had explained that it was better not to move the characters several centimetres at a time, they quickly got the hang of it. We set our equipment up on a low table and the kids were able to kneel on beanbags as they worked. They were much keener on wreaking various forms of havoc with the dinosaurs in unlikely situations and came up with some really inspired little smoovies. The children were just not interested in predictable visits to the shops or cups of tea in the dollʼs house. Within about 5 minutes of the open day starting our preconceived ideas of which characters belonged in which scenes went completely out of the window. In preparation for the event we made 3 sets for the children to choose from - a street scene with cars and figures, a dollʼs house with people and a jungle with dinosaurs. Smoovie claims to be suitable for anyone from 3 to 103 so we decided to put our money where our mouth is and try it out at a local nursery open day.
