macMacDevs[36] = Glasgow_Offshore

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Eeep! Another Glasgow MacMacDev already? We’re running out of Thursdays this month it seems!

macMacDevs[36] will be held at Offshore, 3/5 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU, on Thursday 24 September 2009, from 19:00 until whenever.

Turn up, talk code, bemoan the fact that if you’re there you’re probably not going to make it to C4[3] in time.

If you’re planning on coming along, please let me – david at macmacdev dot com – know.

Looking for some good books – either printed or ebooks – on Mac and iPhone development? Fancy 50% discount on some ebooks?

Apress, in conjunction with MacMacDev, are offering 50% off Apress ebooks.

I’ve been reading my way through a number of the Apress iPhone development books, and I’ve been impressed with the content and presentation. I’ll bring some of the titles along to the next MacMacDev meetings so you can have a flick through them, and I’ll post my reviews of the titles later on.

If you want to take advantage of the 50% discount on ebooks, email me – david at macmacdev dot com – for a promotional code to use at the checkout.

If you’d rather have printed copies of the books, Apress are offering 40% discount through a campaign with Macworld through to the end of the year.

Apress are also interested in hearing ideas for other Mac and iPhone book titles, so if you have any ideas, or would like to write for them, let me know.

macMacDevs[35] = Aberdeen_Archibald_Simpson

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Aberdeen? Yes, that’s right! Not content with two cities in Scotland, we’re aiming for a third. Aberdeen is set to get an Apple Store soon too, so it makes sense to try and find all the Mac and iPhone developers in Aberdeen.

The inaugural Aberdeen MacMacDev will be macMacDevs[35], which will be held at The Archibald Simpson, 5 Castle Street, Aberdeen, AB11 5BQ on Thursday 17 September, from 19:00 until whenever.

John S. Eddie of Zicron Software will be looking after the actual meeting since I won’t be able to be there, but if you can let me – david at macmacdev dot com – know if you’re able to make it that would be great!

So spread the word to any Mac or iPhone developer you know in the Aberdeen area!

macMacDevs[34] = Edinburgh_Mezz

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Perfectly timed to discuss the news from Apple’s “It’s Only Rock And Roll” announcement, it is macMacDevs[34]! And in case the news isn’t that interesting, we’ve always got lots of Snow Leopard stuff to talk about.

macMacDevs[34] will be held at Mezz, 49-51 London Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6LX, on Thursday 10 September 2009, from 19:00 until whenever.

Turn up, talk code, tell me what you want out of a more formal macMacDev meeting, in addition to our regular evening meeting.

If you’re planning on coming along, please let me – david at macmacdev dot com – know.
