<div>****Contains updated info from John Shockey about his talk</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>MacTechGrp Meeting Wednesday Sept 2, 2009 7-9PM Room 315 Bldg E51 MIT Sloan School</div>
<div><br>
Speaker - John Shockey</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hour #1: We'll be talking about Snow Leopard and how it affects your Macintosh usage and development.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Hour #2: "Living with the iPhone SDK" -- John Shockey has been working on an iPhone application, and he'll be showing it off - including his always valuable insights on development:<br><br>"I recently decided to create a small sample iPhone application. My goals were to (1) be a real application solving a real problem, (2) be something I could put on the App Store, even though it probably won't make much money, and (3) be a good application for a MacTechGroup tutorial. It's still in progress, but along the way I've run into some warts in the iPhone SDK -- or at least ways it didn't match what I wanted. So instead of a tutorial, I'll talk about some of the problems and oddities I encountered, why I felt the obvious way of handling them wasn't ideal, and the unconventional code I ended up with instead -- and we'll look at the actual code involved. You could call it a "Tips and Tricks" talk -- but I think it's a little more interesting than that. If there's time after that, I'll gladly answer questions about the more conventional aspects of the application which include using all sorts of view controllers, and interfacing with both of the address book frameworks."<br></div></div>
<div>Got iPhone/Mac Development stuff you want to show or talk about?
Bring it to the meeting, and mention it during the first half hour or
so, along with questions and announcements!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We are trying a messaging strategy recommended by other user
groups. We'll have two meeting emails - one a week before, and
one a day before. Hopefully, you won't find the additional
message too onerous.</div>
