I have a little experience in web development but nothing
substantial. I created a website in Rails for tracking work
requirements. I didn't put alot into the front end but did start to
familiarize myself with CSS. Most of my time is spent in school, work
or study. What little time I have leftover is spent reviewing various

I do have experience with it as do a several of the other folks. I
host and design my own sites and its sort of a necessity if you want
to distribute your Cocoa app. MacUpdate/VersionTracker/iUseT his/
Apple Downloads host directories of apps, but they don't actually
host the downloads themselves. Plus its good to have more in-depth

Luis,
I think you're right about the website. We'd need to figure out some
kind of hosting solution. Do you have some experience with that? Who
did your site?
Also, What was the turnout for the group last meeting?
Cheers, Rob

Yes, Yes, and Yes.
We can probably start with #1 and then do #2 and #3 as opportunities
present themselves.
Having a regularly monthly or bi-monthly meeting is probably
essential as well.
We'll need people to volunteer to coordinate these. Who is interested?

Gus Mueller over at Flying Meat Software has just released Acorn
version 1.0. Billed as a lighter, friendlier Photoshop, it looks to
fill a niche that has recently gotten very competitive. With other
applications such as Iris and Pixelmator on the way, the open sea
between iPhoto and Photoshop is filling quickly.

I was wondering if there was any interest in having a meeting in the
near future? I have a pretty busy schedule this year but would like
to see this group stay active. I think that the developer community
in this area is sorely lacking anything that's not Windows or Java.
I would like to propose the following:

CocoaHeads meeting roundup

2007-08-10T17:42:28Z

Would anyone who attended the meeting on the 15th like to expound on
how it went? I would have liked to attend but had other obligations.
It would be great to hear from someone on this.
Any word on a meeting this month?

Re: Has anyone taken the BNR bootcamp?

2007-07-18T05:18:48Z

I have met people who have gone and they said it was great. It seems
to be best for beginner-intermediate. The great thing I heard is
that you can ask questions almost 24-7 and like you said you can
concentrate on Cocoa 100% with the downside being that it only lasts
one week and its a lot of material.

Today's Meet

Thanks for putting this together guys-- that was fun!
FYI, I'm having a "business" Tiki Party on 25 August, from 3-9pm at my
home in Laurel, MD. You're invited to come if you're available-- I'll
send out proper invitations shortly.
Otherwise, I'll see some of you at C4, yes?
Cheers,

Has anyone taken the BNR bootcamp?

2007-07-11T03:12:06Z

I've been fooling around for too long, not actually learning Coca
(I've contented myself with learning Ruby recenty), and now I'm
thinking of taking the ObjC + Cocoa Bootcamp in December at Big Nerd
Ranch. Has anyone here taken it? Even if not, do you think it's worth
it? Considering the amount of interruptions I get each day (even when
