PSIG 120: Thu Feb 5 2009

When:

Thursday, February 5th, 2009 @ 7pm

Where:

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
Earl J. Wagner will give a talk about creating richer user interfaces for reading news on the web.

Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzsch will also talk about Sparkle, Andy Matuschak's open-source framework for self-updating Mac apps. How it works, how to integrate it into your app or plugin, and the up-and-coming tools for handling your appcasts.

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.
