Martin Holywood - Welcome UFO People
Too often Tech is seen as a barrier to Creativity, during this session we'll look at examples of 'codeless' development and changing your career through Open Source, collaboration and Physical Computing. It's about doing it for yourself and not being reliant on your boss and that 9-5.
There'll be real world case studies to go along with more whimsical projects for pitches and personal work that sometimes feels like a bad punchline.
In the words of author Tom Robbins, "Be your own flying saucer! Rescue yourself!"
