This weekend is barcamplondon<\/a>, so another chance for me to ramble incoherently about a technical topic of my choice. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

My presentation started as a bit of a cop-out. I was ill last week and weekend when I was planning to prepare a new presentation, so I decided to give the same talk I did at Over The Air last month<\/a> and hope that I didn’t get any of the same attendees. <\/p>\n

But then I started tweaking it to suit the different audience. Over The Air<\/a> is an event for mobile developers, so my presentation was pretty much aimed at mobile devs, which wasn’t quite right for a general event like barcamplondon. <\/p>\n

Then I started updating it to reflect the feedback I got, both on the day at Over The Air, and through comments and tweets since. <\/p>\n

My talk at OTA was a technical “Introduction to MQTT” session. <\/p>\n

My presentation for barcamplondon became a broader look at mobile apps that rely on data from the Internet, and the challenges and choices facing mobile app developers who write them. <\/p>\n

And I think it’s better for it. I hope it didn’t come across as pimping MQTT. I still talked about MQTT, but this time it was to use it as an example of one of a broader set of choices:<\/p>\n
