Chuck Joiner once again treats us to a behind the scenes look at Macstock, it’s presenters, and sponsors in his special MacVoices video series, The Road to Macstock! In this installment of The Road to Macstock 2017 Chuck talks with presenter Matt Hillyer about his Macstock session on IFTTT.
The Road to Macstock continues in a conversation with Matt Hillyer about his session on the power of If This Then That (IFTTT). We start with how IFTTT works and what you can do with it, and end with what you need and how Matt’s presentation will help you get started. In the middle we discuss the many Internet of Things (IoT) devices that IFTTT can control, which ones Matt has experience with, and which ones he prefers.

In this installment of The Road to Macstock 2017 Chuck chats with David Cohen about a tiny computer revolution that’s been sweeping the educational and Maker communities by storm.
This Road to Macstock goes across the pond to chat with David Cohen of TechFan, who will be discussing the benefits and capabilities of the Raspberry Pi, the small, super-affordable computer. David explains the features of the computer that is perfect for those who want to do a little hardware hacking, want to learn to code, or just want a to experiment. If you think it isn’t for you, wait until David tells you all the things you could do with it, for very little money.

This Road to Macstock interview features Brian Henson, a volunteer for the event who has the responsibility of getting the speakers on the stage on time, with no technical problems, and ready to go. Brian talks about what speakers can do, at Macstock and elsewhere, to make that job easier, why he volunteers, and what he gets out of Macstock each year.
