2. Board Applications Update

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the board interviews are taking longer than we original expected to process. We didn't understand quite how many awesome people were interested in joining ADI when we made our schedules. If you haven't heard back, please don't worry. We're sending out information later this week.

3. iOS Workshop #1

Monday, 10/10, 9-10pm in Hamilton 516

Learn about the Model/View/Controller pattern, heavily utilized in iOS development, and the basics of Objective-C. By the end of this lecture, you should be able to implement your first apps!(Note: iOS development can only be done on machines running Mac OS X)

If you haven't yet joined and want to come, join the google group here to find out what you need to do to set up your computer for the workshops. Also, please register here for the series so we can send you info about the workshops as the series goes on.

4. What is the Internet Talk

Wednesday, 10/12, 8-9:30pm in Hamilton 516

Join us for dinner and dessert to learn about Internet from Elena Silenok, founder and CEO of Clothia, a fashion technology platform. The internet is perhaps the most important invention in the last 50 years. Topics include Internet history, protocols, network architecture, applications, security, mobile, and a look at future challenges to the Internet itself. You'll leave with an understanding the basics of email, WWW, protocol stack, and the Internet ecosystem as well as a well satisfied sweet tooth.

Prerequisites: None

Clothia is a pre-launch Internet startup that is productizing augmented reality technology to allow users can virtually try on clothes using augmented reality via their webcam. Elena is a contributing writer to Business Insider and a root member of NYhacker and has been featured by BetaBeat as one of the “25 Women Driving New York’s Tech Scene".

Hope to see you there!
