PSIG 91: Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

Programming Special Interest Group
When:
Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 @ 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
Presentation Potpourri. We've been building up a backlog of smallish presentations (oh maybe 20 to 30 minutes each) so we're going to string them together and call it a meeting. Gorman will show off his new WebObjects application, $MEMBER will trot out an example from the excellent Programming with Quartz and Bradley will talk up Sun's ZFS, which is a much needed breath of fresh air in the file system world. I'll talk about MiscMerge, a rocking nonviral open source Cocoa templating engine.

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.
