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.

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!
