description

Future Workshops came in for this week's learning lunch to tell us about some new possibilities with iPhone App development. They're very smart characters and very immersed in the iPhone (and now iPad) ecosystem. They asked to point out that they're not claiming they made all the Examlpes in the presentation. Thanks very much to Matt and Tim for taking the time to come over. Really excellent stuff.
