Great Scott! How the Smartphone Changed the Future

This month we will be at AND Digital. Luke Stringer will be delivering his talk.

Great Scott! How the Smartphone Changed the Future

Hop into the DeLorean and join us for a fourth-dimensional journey through the history of the smartphone, inspired by the iconic film Back to the Future. Come with us to remember the beginnings of the smartphone revolution, revisit iconic software and hardware launches, and get a glimpse into what the future holds.

Luke first began creating apps for iPhone OS 3 (remember back then?!). He has been building mobile software and leading development teams since 2012. He finds writing code and working with people just as fascinating and rewarding as each other. Luke lives in Sheffield and works for AND Digital as a Tech Principal. When not at work he plays guitar, solves Rubik’s cubes, and enjoys spending time with his partner and son.

Luke will also be bringing along a selection of his old iOS devices. Do you still have any old iOS or Android devices? If so, bring them along to Leeds Mobile on September 19th and we can reminisce and enjoy the nostalgia together.

Finally, there will be some giveaways!

1. Two tickets to SwiftLeeds, 8-9 October.
2. One ticket to Codemotion Conference Milan 2024, 22-23 October.
