Most of my presentations work on the iPhone, this one is 1920x1080 ("HD"), that might have something to do with it.


Most of the resources mentioned are free, somebody on Twitter suggested I make a blog post about all the resources since that is an easier format, keep an eye on the blog. (wolfslittlestore.be/journal)



Here is the direct PDF download link for the people who don't want to have Flash on their machine: http://www.slideshare.net/Wolfr/ios-design-a-case-study/down...


The SEO text is auto generated by Slideshare. Download the PDF and things should be easier to skim. I try to make my presentations make sense online by using "sticky notes". But you certainly have a point.


BTW, thanks a lot for the sticky notes - I was fearing another very carefully designed presentation with few words that works for the actual audience, but not an individual reader. If not as a video recording of the presentation (- Google bought this amazing startup that allowed embeds of the presentation slides and video synced up in adjacent windows), this is how all presentations should be posted.


I think it depends on individual preferences. I don't have any problems with slides. In fact i loved all your slides. It has actually inspired me to make my own slides. Its a good break from reading regular blog posts.

I think its nice of you to make a pdf available as well. This way everyone should be happy.


This presentation delivers some insights on the whole process of creating an iPhone app from scratch to finish.


Thanks for sharing, this, it's incredibly helpful for the design challenged developer like me.


Yes, good point. I'll fix it and remove the recommendation.


What do you think about this approach: http://koenatclaes.com/ ? (currently on the frontpage there is a slideshow)

I'm thinking of doing my next one like this, it makes more sense from a UI perspective.


Ever tried doing a video as you go through screens/examples and talk at the same time? Almost like in a tutorial format but from a 'lecture' perspective.


Combine it with hotkeys to move up/down like j/k on boston bigpicture and it's good :)


I put the same slides on SpeakerDeck. They will be available shortly here: http://speakerdeck.com/u/wolfr . Alternatively you can download the presentation in PDF format from SlideShare too.

I re-saved some of the slides to display a static JPG, the parsing of the PDF seems to cause some problems. I just tested it and could go through the 120 slides without problems now.

It's a bit of a pain, yeah.


Thank you. The presentation was great, but Slideshare annoys me immensely. And I couldn't download the PDF; for some reason, the grey overlay appeared but nothing else happened. This may be related to NoScript, though, despite having allowed their domains.


Yep. nclud is really good. Looking forward to their upcoming redesign ( http://nclud.com/ )


Something went wrong with your formatting here:

"Custom is hard, and to me custom is really saying that you have more time to think about the behavior of a select box than Apple’s interaction design team.

And that you have the dev power to fix it. On every platform out there. So sometimes you just have to be pragmatic if you’re building a product."


Thanks for clearing the quote up—but that was exactly the parent post's point—

> SlideShare sucks at exactly this kind of UI

You can't copy and paste its text!


If you scroll down there's a transcript which you can c/p from, but I agree that it's not ideal.


He had me at:

> If you do nothing, the end result is better.


The exact same thing happened when I tried to copy text from a slide - the white space didn't copy over.
