about NSConference USA
In February 2010 The Mac Developer Network with Steve Scott (Scotty) and Tim Isted hosted a second set of NSConference events. This time rather than just running the conference in the UK they attempted to run the same conference in both the UK and the USA just a few weeks apart. This session is taken from the UK iPhone section of NSConference 2010 which was designed for iPhone Developers who wanted to spend a together geeking out in Reading while being educated by some of the world's top iPhone Developers.
