Event Details

Wow! We had another great IDUG meeting on Wednesday night. 178 people packed the large auditorium at MCAD to learn about creating iPad apps with InDesign and Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. Keith Gilbert gave an overview of how Digital Publishing Suite works. He emphasized that DPS is made for designers, and allows designers to create a finished iPad app from beginning to end. Read Keith's blog (http://blog.gilbertconsulting.com) or follow him on twitter (@gilbertconsult) to learn more about DPS.

Thank you

Comments from attendees

Absolutely Fab!!!

Great topic tonight. All the info was fresh and new.

Great information, am excited to try DPS out. Thanks.

I didn't know anything before tonight and now I know a lot!

Wow! I am so excited to dive into ALL of this. Thank you!

Presentation was a good balance of the time available--good mix of software overview and then actually how to do a few things. I knew nothing about iPad use/design before this, so it was a good intro.

More more more.

As usual Keith is talking about what is on designers' minds.

Good stuff. Easy to understand. Design-oriented vs. technically oriented. Great presentation style.

THE topic of interest was presented tonight. Thank you! You've shown us the future...and the future is great!

I will definitely come back!
