Cocoaheads in June

With the hardcore fanboys all at WWDC this month, non-hardcore fanboy Matt Gallagher will remain behind to host the Melbourne Cocoaheads meeting.

He’ll be giving a short talk on: How to Snoop, Steal and Use Undisclosed Classes and Methods on Mac OS X and the iPhone. If there are no other presentations (volunteers are welcome) then Matt might take questions and try to solve problems in a tutorial style format after the presentation so bring your code, your questions and yourself.

When? Thursday June 11th
Where? RMIT City Campus. Seminar Room 1, Swanston St Library, Building 8, Level 5.
Time? 6pm – 8.30pm.

As always we will be heading somewhere afterward for a drink or 10. Dumplings seem less likely but you never know.

Meeting in May

We’re going back to the format we used in February. Everyone gets to talk. 5 minutes maximum. On whatever it is you have/have not or plan to be doing in the cocoa world lately and in the future. (There’s a mouthful!)

On top of this I (Gareth Townsend) will be giving a short talk entitled WWDC: A Survival Guide
