PSIG 71: Thursday, December 4th, 2003

Programming Special Interest Group
When:
Thursday, December 4th, 2003 @ 7pm
Where:
The NorthWest of Us' office
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
Cocoa case study. I recently came off a project where I was handed five Word files and a XML file. My software turned out a publication-ready cookbook PDF. My tale involves numerous changes of technologies, winding up with WebObjects, WebKit and Cocoa. Find out what role these technologies played and how it fit together, complete with a recounting of unexpected stumbling blocks.

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.
