I've always enjoyed designing mobile web sites. They're relatively easy to build given their need for simplicity, clarity, and the ability you get to truly focus hard on the customers experience of using it. If you think about it, nowadays your customers can not only watch and listen, but squeeze, tilt, pinch, and flick your site or application.
That's pretty interactive, and recently I had the pleasure of doing all these things for a site, in working with two incredibly talented guys; Christopher Cheong & Vincent Truong when we pulled together a marketing app for the iPhone. Credit where due, Christopher and Vincent did all the really hard work, I just got to design, and get to tweak and play with all their excellent code : )
Built for RMIT University's Open Day, this relatively one day use app was RMIT's first, and I'm eternally grateful for those two for helping us get this live, and all that I learned from them. Not only great developers but multi skilled, (Chris also lectures in several subjects at RMIT) and damn nice guys to boot. They put up with me and did so with a smile, despite my endless requests, so I'm looking forward to doing more with them in the near future.
If your not coming to our Open Day it's a little hard to appreciate what this will do on the day, but I'd love to hear any comments, good or bad so we can learn for future apps.
(And yes Android lovers like me, you are not forgotten, and I have already heard you on our RMIT social networks, but we need more Android developers out there! In the meantime, most functions on the app will also be available across the www.rmit.edu.au/mobile web site on Open Day.)
