PSIG 113: Thu Mar 6 2008

When:

Thursday, March 6th, 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 Mac 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
Core Data makes it easy to persist your data to disk, but what happens when your data format changes? This used to entail lots of pain, but 10.5 has a bunch of tricks up its anthropomorphized sleeve to make upgrading your data model much easier. Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch will walk through Core Data’s migration facilities.

Hey this iPhone SDK is a big deal, so we'll be going through it instead of the above topic tonight.

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.
