11th November MoMoEdi: Beyond progressive-enhancement, Bryan Rieger, Yiibu

After a gap of nearly two years I am delighted to announce MoMoEdi's next event which is being run in collaboration for Informatics Mobile Apps Group.

The time is 2020. The inflection point has long passed. Most web traffic is now coming from some manner of portable device. And if Google Chairman Eric Schmidt (and many others’) predictions have come true, we will have truly reached time where “…[technology] will just be seamless. It will just be there. The web will be everything, and it will be nothing. It will be like electricity.”

This presentation challenges us to think about the role of the web going forward. What steps must we take to build a world where interactions with the web are truly “seamless”? What would a seamless web even look like? How can we ensure the web remains strong amidst all the new technologies that are on the way.

Bryan is a designer and reluctant developer with a past mired in theatre and animation. With over 15 years experience designing and developing software, Bryan's work has spanned many platforms including print, broadcast, web and mobile. Prior to founding Yiibu, Bryan led R&D at a startup in the broadband entertainment space and worked on early interactive multimedia prototypes for handheld entertainment consoles and devices. Bryan now divides his time between his own research, prototyping, and working internationally on mobile projects for clients such Nokia, Intel, Phillips, Vodafone, and Microsoft.
