Dan Grigsby,
from Mobile Orchard, will be giving a presentation on Objective-J and the Cappuccino framework. Cappucino is a really interesting web framework that will be immediately familiar to any Cocoa/Objective-C developer. I think this will be a fun discussion and look forward to having Dan show us we can extend the core Cocoa concepts to the web.

Check out 280 North’s 280 Slides project for a glimpse at the capabilities of the framework.

I hope to see all of you there next Thurday!
