As we develop into adulthood, the type of play in which we partake commonly becomes increasingly structured or rule-based. I am challenging preconceptions towards rules within play, and attempting to create the opportunity to indulge in the process of touch and exploration in a way that adults are rarely encouraged.

Tom is essentially creating an excuse to interact with objects in the way that children do. Tom has explored a number of different approaches:
* Strategies that allow things / events to be discovered through interaction, rather than defining them in advance.
* Using the perception of a game as a temporary 'low-risk' environment, in which it is acceptable to interact with the aesthetic/tactile qualities of objects.
* Use of emergent properties, such as mark, structure or surprise, as a means of engaging people with the objects.

Toms work explores the gap between spontaneous/creative and rule-bound forms of play. The concluding objects strive to make a personal adventure of ideas and concept accessible to all.About The Speaker

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood"
— Tom Robbins (popular author)

About the Speaker

Thomas Forsyth is a designer and artist based in Brighton. He is currently graduating from Brighton University where he studied a BA(Hons) in Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics. Always having taken a great interest in the way people perceive and interact with objects, his recent work explores and challenges rules within play.

ALSO: SHOW AND TELL
Following the talk there will be an opportunity to show and tell something that you've been working on.

You don't have to have a polished presentation or anything just spend 5-10 minutes telling the group about something you're working/have worked on.

--

This event is free but it would be nice if you could drop a little something into The Werks' piggybank of theirs that they have at The Werks there.

Over the last three years the Develop Conference & Expo has rapidly established itself as the leading event for games design and development professionals in Europe. Last year, over 1,200 developers from every level of the development community descended on Brighton to meet, learn, share and network with their peers.

It attracts an international cast of speakers and delegates featuring some of the most creative and talented minds in the industry today with the likes of Phil Spencer (Microsoft), Jonathan Smith (Traveller's Tales), Andrew Eades (Relentless Software), Tommy Francois (Ubisoft) and Richard Lemarchand (Naughty Dog) already confirmed for 2008.

The combination of seminars, sessions, workshops & expo, together with the unrivalled networking opportunities that an event like this offers, add up to make the Develop Conference & Expo a must-attend event, designed to help today's developers make better games.

In true geek style and an excuse to get a bit social comes AfternoonTeaCamp. It’s on the weekend (this Sunday), in the afternoon at The Werks. The idea is that everyone brings something to share and that we can all enjoy each others company.

Being a geek is not essential, though social and good company is.

How is going to work?

1. Bring something related to afternoon tea. E.g tea bags, milk, sandwiches, scones....
2. Sign up on the list where people should say what they are going to bring. (We wouldn't want everyone to bring just milk 'n' tea!)
3. There will be slots for people to give presentations (BarCamp style)
4. Kids are welcome, perhaps they could make something too and show it off.
5. Any sponsors want to help out with costs?

Mark yourself as attending here or stick your name down on the wiki - http://afternoontea.pbwiki.com

The first ever CFDevCon was in November 2006 and was started by Russ Michaels. His original goal was to bring to the UK what the Americans had been enjoying for years through cfunited, cf:objective and other ColdFusion related conferences. Like many developers Russ either did not have the time or the money to make the trip to the USA for these conferences, so decided to make his own. Thanks to the membership of his existing community CFDeveloper, getting the word out was not too difficult.

The first CFDevCon was a resounding success with around 200 attendees, which rivaled the first ever cfunited in the USA. This was quite a feat, considering how tiny the UK is compared to the USA, and how few developers we have in comparison.

The discussion will range from technical (what tools/languages were used during development) to business (building communities, spreading the word, costs and rewards).

After a bit of thought we've decided that this £5app meet will be a DemoCamp (http://barcamp.org/DemoCamp).

One of the reasons that we wanted to run the £5app was so that we might encourage people to simply get doing things. A DemoCamp seems like a really good way to foster this. It lets people show off what they've been working on and as each demo isn't too long it's less nerve-wracking.

If this works well, we'll most likely alternate DemoCamps with regular talks.

So far we have seven demos lined up:

* Google Maps + GPS + Python + Series 60 + giant pencil == live biking location demo, Tristan Roddis (CogApp)
* Google App Engine 'stuff', Simon Willison & Natalie Downe
* Evolvable flight-paths for crash-resistant landing vectors at a major airport, Matt Sarjent
* 'Pistach.io: a cracking idea!', Aral Balkan and Dave Stone
* 'Inuda's first public app... after two years of 'Innovating' alongside client work', Jon Markwell and Kev The Dev
* Seb Lee-Delisle - 'Arduino - Beyond Blink' - Making cool stuff with LEDs (see: http://www.sebleedelisle.com/?p=170)
* AllSizes+, Premasagar Rose - Hacking Flickr with Greasemonkey, dealing with unresolvable ethical conflicts and building a Greasemonkey client-server communications engine.

From Ego to Ergo: Using Influence in Design
Led by Mike Stenhouse

We love stories, recognise patterns in a fraction of a second and have a set of highly developed social behaviours. Mike will be running through a collection of these hard-wired influence points and exploring how they can be used in the design of products, interfaces and experiences.

Settling New Caprica: Getting Your Pet Project Off The Ground
Led by Tom Armitage

Pet projects: everybody's got them. But how many of them never see the light of day? In this talk, Tom Armitage looks at some of the obstacles that impede such projects, and how to get over them. The talk also considers some ways to streamline the process of releasing software when you're your own client, and perhaps might give some ideas to improve not only your personal projects, but your work projects as well. There should be plenty enough time for a healthy Q&A session after the initial presentation.

Only rarely are sufficient time, resources and skilled individuals available to teams who are developing commercially driven software systems to effectively apply rigorous approaches to performance test that system. In cases where applying rigorous approaches would not be effective, a risk-based, flexible approach to performance testing is needed. Rigorous or not, any approach to performance testing needs to focus on collecting the data necessary both to assist the development team in identifying, prioritizing, and tuning areas of sub-optimal performance and to assist stakeholders in making sound business decisions related to performance risks.

In this course, you will learn:

* Nine core principles found in most successful performance testing projects
* Concise, universal heuristics and models for rapid application of those principles
* How to determine and apply oracles to software system performance criteria
* How to apply the core principles into your team’s development process
* How to plan ahead without reducing your ability to react to change
* How to communicate performance testing concepts to non-performance testers
* How to rapidly design performance tests that will achieve your performance testing objectives
