Mr. Maximiliano Firtman
Argentina
I'm a developer, conferencist, and enthusiast in mobile and Web platforms. I wrote the books Mobile Programming in Java J2ME, ASP.NET and Mobile Development Using .NET, in Spanish. I wrote many articles and special reports in magazines and books, and I worked for a couple of TV shows and events. I'm also a technical professor in mobile technologies, I've created the first Mobile Career in Latin America, and I organized Buenos Aires Mobile 05, a local event.
In 1999, I founded entupalma.com®, a mobile development company using many technologies, and in 2003, I developed Truco, a single and multiplayer card game for Java™ ME, the first mobile game distributed in Argentina, and the first multiplayer mobile game in Latin America. I'm also technical advisor, journalist, and tool reviewer in .CODE, the Latin-American magazine for developers.
In 2006, I've recently founded ITMaster Professional Training, an institute for training in mobile technologies in Spain and Latin America, where I work as director and professor, while I continue working on developing new games and applications. I'm a specialist in conferences and courses at companies, events, institutes, and universities for Spanish-speaking developers.
