Announcing chiPhone

[payto...@gmail.com]

Please excuse the mild hijacking of this message board - but I know
Ruby
like to do iPhone on the side. Without further ado...




It's with great pleasure that I announce the creation of chiPhone,
the
Chicago iPhone developer's group, with our first meeting on June 23rd
at 6:30. The fourth Thursday of every month should feature
interesting presentations, hackfests, and everything else you'd
expect
from a quality developer group.

The group website is now up and running at www.chiphonegroup.org
where
you can register there to attend the first meetup. In addition
you'll
find directions to the 8th Light offices, where most of our meetings
will take place, and the announcement of the topic for the next
meeting. As the official site website all further information will
be
posted there, including video recording of the talks.

The first meeting will feature a presentation by "the Eric's" on Test
Driven Development for the iPhone. We'll be starting with the basics
of setup and work all the way through Dependency Injection using
Interface Builder. Bring your Macs so you can grab our github project
for experimenting. Get to the 8th Light offices early for pizza and
refreshments.

8th Light is located just off of Route 45 in Libertyville, and
detailed directions are available on the chiPhone website. In
addition we are near the Libertyville train station, and pickup/
drop-off service is available.

I'm looking forward to a lot of great meetups, and I'll be asking you
to provide some topics in the near future.

This is awesome!

I know a few people that are getting into iPhone development with apps
'almost out the door', so a local group like this would be really
helpful.

(Hope we can rotate the location from time to time though)

We'd be happy to host it at Obtiva (566 W Adams in Chicago) if you
ever want to meet near the loop.

Best,

As a follow up - chiPhone has it's own google group now at
http://groups.google.com/group/chiphone.

And I know we'll be moving locations around - indeed next month will
likely be in the city, since the scheduled date is the same week as
Agile 2009.
