About cocoa³

Hi!

We see that you found your way to our homepage. And since you clicked the about-link we figured you want to know something about us, so we've prepared a short description of ourselves, just for you!

cocoa³ (pronounced: cube of cocoa) is a group of four students at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlshamn, Sweden. cocoa³ started in September 2008 with Magnus, Martin and Chralle behind the wheel. We all decided that we wanted to major in software development for Apple products, more precisely the iPhone. We have since then read books, done tutorials and programmed small and not-so-small applications for the mac and the iPhone.

We are currently working on our master's thesis, which is to take cocoa³ to the next step, a real business. Now also in the group, to help us out with just that, is Niklas. He is studying business plans, writing a working business model for cocoa³ and researching the mobile application market.

The future of cocoa³ is exciting. We are working on several iPhone projects right now, some secret, some not-so-secret. We will publish more information in the near future, so be sure to follow our blog and our personal updates! Our goal is to become a major actor in the industry for modern mobile software in Sweden, a young, exciting and rapidly growing field.

 
Magnus

Magnus Johansson

MagnusMy name is Magnus Johansson; a 24 year old student from sweden currently studying “Media Technology with Emphasis on Interactive Systems” at BTH campus Karlshamn.

I'm a perfectionistic neat freak list-o'-maniac with a penchant for graphical design, programming and all things Apple.

I love writing great apps and coming up with new and creative ways to enrich the users experience. With that said you can probably guess that the usability is my cup of tea and that is just what I'll be focusing on here at cocoa³.

Martin

Martin Alléus

MartinI'm Martin, 22 years old and grown up in Gislaved, Småland. I study at the same program as Magnus and Chralle, Media Technology.

My life circles around web-development, design and software engineering. I've been a computer geek as long as I can remember, and I'm most certainly proud of it!

In cocoa³ I focus on programming data communication layers and act as a contact person for our clients.

I have also (with help of my three friends of course) designed this homepage, made the logotype and composed the photos seen on the site.

 
Chralle

Chralle Linder

ChralleMy name is Christian (call me Chralle) and I'm 21 years old from the heart of Sweden, Skåne. I currently study with the other guys at Blekinge Institute of Technology at the program Media Technology.

When I first came to Cocoa (around july/august -08) I fell in love. It was then I decided to put all of my energy into that.

My focus area in this project is programming and project management.

Niklas

Niklas Jonson

NiklasMy name is Niklas Jonson and I am 21 years old and live in Karlshamn, Sweden. I am currently a student at Blekinge Institute of Technology where I am studying the 3rd year of the Digital Games program. However the last year I have focused more on the business side of the industry.

My main part in the project is to develop it into a real working business after graduation.

I will also develop and extend the contact network of the project during this time to ensure growth.
