“Not bad for DCU students” is a bit patronising for what is one of the best musicals I’ve seen. These kids rock at this. While the material is decades old and probably out of sync with life today, the numbers, costumes and talent were something else.

Additionally customers will have access to exclusive online content from Setanta Sports
The network for now is only available in Dublin, Cork city, Dundalk, Drogheda, Bray, Naas and Newbridge but eircom say they’ll be extending the coverage range to over half the population by the end of 2009.
So we got some cupcakes made to celebrate the launch of App School. Once again the hyper-talented people in the Dublin Cupcakes made them at short enough notice and did an excellent job. Some of the cupcakes have 3d icons and some are printed on edible paper.

We press released about App School this morning as well as getting it mentioned in the Irish Times.Patrick, Daniel,SQT Training and myself will be involved in training people in how to build and market iPhone applications over 5 days.
If you can handle C++ or Java then this course will suit you, the first run of it is July 20th. App school is on Twitter too, naturally.
