Jacky Price, Consultant at ECOM Recruitment attended a seminar last week in Birmingham all about creating apps for people with a disability. Here are his highlights of the event.
"I went to a really interesting talk last week, with speaker Dennie Declercq, the creator of #DreamingIsBelieving and a forerunner in innovation in making apps for people with a disability, who flew from Belgium to present his findings and build awareness. This was an event hosted by Dave Evans, how runs a Xamarin Community in Birmingham, where I was fortunate enough to be invited to a previous talk on the Hololens.
