Yesterday’s seminar was a blast! I went with minimal expectations, only to be surprised by quite a lot of apps and their presentation. Of course, I’m required to comment on one app, but before that I just want to mention a few things that were interesting in the myriad of presentations. InClass I liked how [...]
