PSIG 106: Thursday, Aug 2nd, 2007

Programming Special Interest Group
When:
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 @ 7pm
Where:
Inverness Room (downstairs rear) of the Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows
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
Dave Dribin and Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch will talk about how to implement Cocoa toolbars. Wolf will cover the traditional hard way: working blind and writing a good amount of boilerplate code. Dave will cover the easy way: using Jordy Rose’s GenericToolbar, working in Interface Builder and writing code that’s only unique to your app.

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.
