PSIG 111: Thu Jan 3 2008

Programming Special Interest Group
When:
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 @ 7pm
Where:
New Meeting Location: 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 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
New in Mac OS X 10.5, Scripting Bridge makes it easier for your Cocoa application to control and interoperate with other applications. Instead of embedding+executing AppleScripts, Scripting Bridge allows you to control scriptable applications with right in your Objective-C code. Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch will walk through how the technology works and provide a demo of it in action.

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.
