Saturday, November 3rd at 10:30am, the Macintosh Programming SIG (MPSIG) will be meeting at Cheyney University.
This coming Saturday, at 10:30am, at Cheyney University, the very entertaining Louis Gerberg will speak on designing for and developing on the iPhone. Louis was an Apple developer for many years and he is full of inside information on why things on the Mac are the way they are. He is currently developing for the iPhone.
This is going to be great! Louis is a great speaker & has got a wonderful subject to talk about! And the iPhone taking off the way it has, it offers some extraordinary potential for developers! Even if you are not specifically interested in programming for the iPhone but are generally interested in how to program well, this is definitely a talk to catch!
NOTE: This Keynote presentation was recorded. If you are interested contact Louis via the mailserver
See you Saturday!
Cheers,
John

Saturday, December 1st at 10:30am, the Macintosh Programming SIG (MPSIG) will be meeting at Cheyney University. This Saturday, our own very entertaining & knowledgeable Louis Gerberg will speak on design patterns in Objective C.
Per Louis, his talk is: Cocoa Tips, Tricks, Patterns, and Idioms:
The dynamic runtime Objective C presents allows for designs and patterns that are somewhat different from more conventional object oriented languages. These patterns are used pervasively through the Cocoa framework itself, and understanding them enhances ones ability to write Cocoa applications. This talk will give an overview of the runtime itself, then will take a quick look at some of the common idioms.
This talk will be a great way to get started with Objective C and to deepen your understanding of it!
Louis did a great job at our last meeting, discussing how to write the best possible iPhone application: keeping the app focused on doing one thing well, make best use of the iPhone's architecture, conform to the iPhone culture, & make things as easy as possible for the user.

Tomorrow, Saturday, at 10:30am, at Cheyney University, we'll meet to discuss Macintosh programming in general: what we've been working on, questions we have, insights we would like to share. This is an informal get together because Deivy & I have been too busy to line up a more formal program. And, it is good to just chat from time to time.
See you Saturday!
Cheers,
John
