Yes, it’s CocoaHeads time again. This Thursday (6/11), Gerd Knops, from bitart, will be discussing complex application development with Cocoa technologies and will cover his use of a variety of Cocoa APIs in his current development work. A few key topics to be be discussed are:

• Custom UI components
• View Animation
• Bonjour
• Distributed objects
• Drag and Drop
• Cocoa Bindings

This will be a great opportunity to see how the Cocoa platform is being used in real-world applications.

For details and directions, swing by our site (http://www.cocoaheadsmn.org/). Please join us this Thursday for pizza and Cocoa.

Just wanted to send out a quick reminder that the next CocoaHeads meeting is this Thursday (5/14) at 6:00pm. We don’t have a specific agenda for May so we’ll have an open forum this month. Stop by the CocoaHeads site for the calendar and directions.

I hope to see you this Thursday for pizza and Cocoa!

We’ve run into some scheduling conflicts and are going to have to cancel the CocoaHeads meeting this month. There will be no meeting this Thursday (3/12). We will reconvene in April.

I’ve been thinking about redesigning my site for sometime now. After many weeks of hard work I think I can finally unveil the new design. It’s still in beta stage, but feel free to take a sneak peek and let me know what you think.

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

The first CocoaHeads meeting of the year is this Thursday (1/8). This month Dylan Bruzenak, from IdeaSwarm, will be leading a discussion on ways of customizing Xcode to help you work more efficiently. This seems like a great topic to kick off 2009!

I have also posted our new home page and have moved the forums over to Google Groups. I’ll be doing some fine tuning over the month, but hopefully this will provide a better solution and experience for everyone. Stop by the new site and join the group.

Stop by the CocoaHeads site for directions.
