Ron Fredericks writes: I attended my first District level contest over the weekend. I will be adding more notes here over time. But for now, take a look at the growing number of photos I took during the event as one of two official photographers for this event.

Event Photos

The photos located here have been selected by a visitor to this page. So I have taken the time to enhance them and share them with you here. Take a look at the complete photo gallery below, and let me know what your favorite photos are too. Maybe I will have the time to highlight them in this section.

Event Photo Gallery

These photos form a complete record of the event as I experienced it with my SLR camera. If you like this format, perhaps you too would like to use LectureMaker’s photography service at your next event.

I used a monopole to help frame the images so there are several sequences that blend together as you watch the slide show unfold.

Use this post’s comment feature below to vote for your favorite photos. I will consider posting your favorites in the Event Photos section above. If you find photos you do not like, I am willing to remove them. Just let me know.

Ron Fredericks writes: LectureMaker was on scene filming Marko Gargenta deliver his Introduction to Google’s Android Software Platform during the September 3′rd regular meeting of the Software Development Forum (SDForum) Mobile Internet Special Interest Group meeting. Peter Lam was the host representing the Software Development Forum for this meeting, while Peter’s co-host Joe Jasin was traveling. The site for the event was located at the Orrick Law Office in Menlo Park with very friendly facilitators and signage to help a new visitor like me easily locate the meeting within the three building complex.

Marko is an industry expert in Android, a technical and business trainer for Android and other open-source technologies, co-author of PHP and MySQL by Example published by Prentice Hall, leader of the San Francisco Android User Group, founder of a leading technical training company called Marakana, and more…

 The presentation covers both a business and developer perspective with several practical examples and live demonstrations.  See the list of quesitons and main topics represented as red navigation dots embedded in the video, as well as a time line near the end of this post.
