CocoaHeads October Meeting

[nduplessis]

Hello folks

For some reason I had week completely mixed up and was under the
impression our meeting is next week.

Has anyone made real plans to visit us this evening or would you be OK
if we did it next week?

[Craig Nicholson]

Next week is good my side.

Hey all, missed these last week. So we're on for Thursday? Any details on When/where?

[Nico du Plessis]

Hi Matt

I put the meeting details up at the CocoaHeads site: http://cocoaheads.org/za/Johannesburg/index.html

So far I've only heard back from you and Craig. Anyone else coming?

[Peter Pistorius]

I'm coming.

Not certain on whether i can make it, things are pretty hectic at work.
What is the topic btw?

[Nico du Plessis]

Was thinking unit testing

[Peter Pistorius]

Yeah, that's something that I've always wanted to try... but it just
seemed like so much work.

[Matt Benic]

A bit of work upfront to save a ton of work later.. :)

[fuzzy]

I agree, its a good choice. Matt im sure has some input on that, and
if i come i will mention usind boost libraries for unit testing cos they
are oh so yummy for c++.

[Nico du Plessis]

I'm aiming to give a brief intro to unit testing and TDD and then focussing on how to set up unit testing in iOS projects as this is not really as easy as it should be.
Because this is such an interesting topic, I'll keep my presentation short enough so that we'll have a fair amount of time to discuss the benefits, dos and donts, etc

If anyone is interested in grabbing the Xcode 4 DP4 be sure to bring a drive with about 3.5 GB of free space

Id like to grab that if i come, thanks Nico.

[Matt Benic]

I'll grab that too-and I don't think I'll have anything to contribute on TTD on iOS, it'll be all learning for me.

Looking forward to trying out those fancy chairs of yours guys ;)

Noticed that as well, applied a reinterpret_cast<> :) 

[Nico du Plessis]

Thanks for the heads up, should be fixed in the next 10 minutes or so

[Nico du Plessis]

OK, so I have the following people down for tonight:

- Peter
- Craig
- Matt
- Sven (maybe)

Is that all?

[Andre Odendaal]

Hi Nico,

[Nico du Plessis]

Thanks for letting know Andre

Also, I apologise for the tone, probably should have said "anyone else?" instead. Just wanted some final numbers for food etc., didn't mean to be rude :)

[fuzzy]

Me and the wife are coming through nico. See you there!

[Craig Nicholson]

I'm wondering if there is even a point having an event this evening with such low numbers?

[Nico du Plessis]

Hi Craig

Maybe not. What do the rest of you think?

[Peter Pistorius]

I don't think raw attendance has value. Certainly the people who do attend add value, but only if they add value. 

I'm hoping that it's more intimate and comfortable.

Inclined to agree, the group is never about attendance it's still social too.  I'd still come

[Nico du Plessis]

Fair enough. I've just rescheduled with everyone though, so let's try for next week?

I'll put up a few candles in the venue to make it nice and cosy :)

[Peter Pistorius]

Hehehehehe.

Are you just saying that because of my candles?

Sent from my iPhone

[Armand du Plessis]

I'm coming just for the candles

[Nico du Plessis]

We'd expect no less from a ruby developer, such gems!

Sent from my iPhone

[Matt Benic]

I can deal with the candles, now if they were scented I'd be seriously worried..

[Peter Pistorius]

We've become so much more - a support group for struggling iOS developers.
