PSIG 110: Thu Dec 6 2007

When:

Thursday, December 6th, 2007 @ 7pm

Where:

Inverness Room (downstairs rear) of the Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows

Notice: this will be the last meeting at the Holiday Inn. Starting January 2008 we'll be meeting at Hotel Indigo, which is within walking distance from the Arlington Park train station.

Schedule:

Show & Tell
We'll start out the meeting by going around the table and talking about what we're currently working on or learning about. Handouts are welcome, or bring along your PowerBook and we'll hook it up to the projector.

Book Reports
Bring along the book you're currently reading, or one of your old favorites. Hopefully the book would have some relevance to programming, but we're fairly open-minded. Just give us an overview the book's topic, and what you liked (or disliked) about it.

Topics
Mac OS X 10.5 introduces a new high-level framework for iCal data creation+mutation: CalendarStore. Before CalendarStore, your only options for interoperating with the system’s calendar were to use the potent-but-complex SyncServices or (shudder) grovel iCal files yourself. Now it’s easy to add calendar support to your Cocoa application. Victoria Wang will demonstrate how she integrated iCal support into her application.

Dinner
If you want pizza, bring along three dollars and we'll all chip in.

Looking for Presenters:

I'm always on the look-out for folks to want to give a talk for a meeting. The talk doesn't need to be long (10 minutes is fine if your topic is small or you just want to tease the group) and you don't need to be an expert (just tell us why you think your topic is cool or your experiences). Toss me an email and I'll assign you a chunk of time.
