Welcome to the CocoaHeads of Minnesota

The Minnesota Chapter of the CocoaHeads User Group was founded in the Spring of 2008. Our group is a community gathering for people interested in developing software for the Macintosh and iPhone platforms. The group was formed with the goal of bringing like-minded developers together to share experiences, insights, and techniques. Our monthly meetings are a mix of informal and interactive presentations, hands on coding, and discussion.

We meet the 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm at the offices of Synergy Information Services (see map). Our meeting calendar links are in various formats, so pick your poison: , , .

June 2009

Gerd Knops, from bitart, will be discussing complex application development with Cocoa technologies and will cover his use of a variety of Cocoa APIs in his current development work. A few key topics to be be discussed are:

• Custom UI components
• View Animation
• Bonjour
• Distributed objects
• Drag and Drop
• Cocoa Bindings

This will be a great opportunity to see how the Cocoa platform is being used in real-world applications.
