It’s great to be invited again by Intel as last year.

This year I was invited as participant of the Ultimate Coder Challenge, but also as being an Intel Black Belt developer.

San Francisco is a great city and it was a pleasure to meet all the fellow Ultimate Coders and the other Black Belt developers. I knew many of them already from last year.

Have you been to the IDF 2012, too?

I was invited to give a speech there about the topic Black Belt and theAccelerator Program summarizing the reputation system of the AppUp Developer Program and explaining the opportunities of the Accelerator Program for developers. Download the PowerPoint presentation.

It was a pleasure for me to discuss together with other Intel Black Belts like Chris Skaggs (Soma Games), Lee Bamber and Rick Vanner (The Game Creators) and Suresh Kumar (Blue Innovations) as well as Bob Duffy (Intel AppUp Community Manager and moderator of this panel discussion) the pros and cons, but also the challenges of developing apps for multiple devices and platforms.

Have you been to the IDF 2011, too?

That’s really great as one of many benefits resulting from this award is that I’ll be invited to come to the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco this year.

Do you also participate in the Intel AppUp Developer program?
