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.

More cocoa linking goodness for you cocoaheads.
Scott Stevenson has been hard at work, creating THCanvasView which essentially allows you to mimic the finder in your application. It’s worth checking it out. THCanvasView
Collin Wheeler put together a talk on Quartz and the Core Graphics API’s for the Des Moins CocoaHeads group and kindly posted it to his blog. graphical goodness can be found here.
One thing I didn’t note in the October meeting when talking link love was that the long lost late night cocoa podcast is now back and firing. Each episode has an interview with a cocoa developer and discusses a piece of technology in depth. Well worth a listen.

It’s time for another installation of CocoaLinks. Interesting news from around the web over the past month. It’s been fairly quiet but we’ve found some juicy goodness to keep you busy.
First up, Clean up your app! No seriously, you don’t want to ship an application full of debug code and bloat. It’ll cost you money in bandwidth for distribution and waste your users precious hard drive space!
Another find that I haven’t yet had time to peruse is Standford’s online cocoa course. I’d love to hear a review at the next meeting so get reading!
