Q&A: Ian Livingstone on the Importance of Computer Science to the Digital Economy

Ian Livingstone is the President of Eidos, and also co-author of the Next Gen report, a study that stresses the importance of the digital economy and the role teaching Computer Science in schools plays in its growth.

We were able to talk earlier this month at the Explay Festival where he gave one of the keynote speeches.

Explay Coverage: Day Two

My continued coverage of the Explay Festival.

Day two of the Explay conference continued to cement the prevalence of developers and companies active in the South West. After registering attendees milled around the conference floor, where two gaming cabinets vied for their attention. The first of the these is the mighty Plymatron, an arcade cabinetbased on the designs of the Canadian Bit Collective's Winnitron.

Explay Coverage: Day One

I'm down in Plymouth this weekend covering the first, well sort of, Explay festival. This is the first long form Explay event, there was a single evening event held last year, an event that kicked off the Explay community network. The network of South Western developers was celebrating its one year anniversay tonight, so I can't quite call it the first Explay event.
