Brisbane Gets A CocoaHeads Group

Dr Nic Williams, of the Ruby on Rails world has decided it’s time to explore the world of Cocoa.

In fact he’s so keen on the idea he’s started a Brisbane CocoaHeads group so that he doesn’t have to toil away on code all alone. So if you’re in Brisbane and wishing for some Cocoa coding buddies then check it out:

Ever wanted to know more about threading?

Colin Wheeler of Cocoa Samurai recently gave a talk at his local cocoaheads meeting on threading in Leopard.

Depending on how long you have been writing code for you have either been burned by threads, or just plain avoided them.

Iif you feel the need to play with fire threads then check out Colin’s great guide to threading on leopard to ensure that you stand half a chance of coming out the other end alive.

Marcus has just uploaded his slides on Ruby Cocoa and Core Image.

Looking For Speakers (March/April Meeting)

It’s been too long. It’s time for another meeting of the Melbourne Cocoaheads.

I’m thinking late March or early April.

Before I can pin down a date I need some speakers so that we don’t spend all of our time at the pub.

Marcus Crafter has already put his hand up to talk on Ruby Cocoa and Core Image but we need some more speakers.

So whatever you’re working on, no matter what level of detail or complexity I’d love to hear from you. Post to the google group or contact me personally on quamen at gmail dot com.
