PSIG 112: Thu Feb 7 2008

When:

Thursday, February 7th, 2008 @ 7pm

Where:

New Meeting Location: Hotel Indigo (pic, directions from the Arlington Park Metra 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
Ever wanted to write your own feed reader? PubSub is shorthand for Apple’s new “Publication Subscription” framework, included with Mac OS X Leopard 10.5. It consumes RSS 0.9, 1.0, 2.0 and Atom feeds and makes them available to your Cocoa application. Dave Dribin has been tinkering with PubSub and will walk us through how it works and some of its cooler features.

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.
