Our own Tim Cochrane will do: Your Data on the Move!-Mobile Web Services
Web Services are used in a variety of online systems in numerous ways. Learn what web services are, why to use them and how to integrate them into your mobileapps. Tim will explain and demonstrate how some of his iOS apps access various different web services such as Twitter, Facebook and CoasterCounter. We'll alsodemo a custom app that uses web services in a fun and unusual way.
Or as I like to think of it, how to leverage other people's work to make your site better. :)

Our own John Ashmead in :A review of his new maps & data web site.
In his words:"This is something of a work in progress, some days more work, some days more progress.
I've been doing in HTML5, CSS, Javascript & jQuery, & PHP & MySQL. The server side went up pretty quickly but I've had to play around quite a bit on the client end, figuring out how to do stuff. Good news, I've gotten a lot of new material for my book on Zen & the Art of Debugging.
I'm going to do a lesson's learned & then a lessons to learn! If you are interested in HTML5, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, PHP & MySQL, or just feel like giving a fellow programmer a hand, come!

Our own Kotaro Fujita in "Son of Enterprise Development"
Very good presentation by Kotaro Fujita. Energetic talk & conversation & lots of good information about developing in an enterprise context (hint: there is politics involved). He is working at UPenn's Hospital, so there are concerns about patient data & HIPAA regs as well.
We are not meeting in July (too close to the 4th) but will in August, on the 6th. Deivy would be next up as speaker, but he can't make August so Mike Zornek will do a report on theWWDC.
Deivy will have the talks up on the new & improved website this week!
I will be talking at MLMUG on 7/9 on Development on the Mac. Shortly I will
know what I am talking about, as I have promised Maria Arguello a brief description by sometime real soon now.
Cheers,
John

Our ownDeivy Petrescu on: AppleScript Objective-C (ASOC):
The good the bad and the ugly of creating applications in X-code using ASOC.
We will be creating some apps using ASOC and we will discuss advantages and pitfalls of doing it.
Here are some helpfull and uptdate sites for the ASOC interested:
Our ownMike Zornek on Bootstrap & rapid & easy webapp and site development: Bootstrap, from Twitter.
Bootstrap is a toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart development of webapps and sites. It includes base CSS and HTML (and JavaScript behaviors) for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, and more. It's about making the view side of your web app as pretty and semantically clean as possible. This has very little to do with the web app logic. This is all about the the V of MVC. This has nothing to do with Twitter the service, it just so happens to be open sourced by them.
Our own Chris Heimark on Hear about the DuckDuckGo search engine (https://duckduckgo.com).
We heard why it is better than Google. We heard why it gets better every day. We learned about the search tracking that Google enables. We learned about the Google search bubble that "tailors" search responses. We heard about our !bang terms and directed searches. Last but not least, we learned about the responsiveness DuckDuckGo provides when one inquires about its search engine behavior. Now, we can read about it too, just click here for the slides of the presentation.
