From: "Owen Hartnett" Subject: MacTechGroup Meeting Sept 1 Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:38 AM MacTechGrp Meeting Sept 1 2004 7-9PM Room 325 Bldg E51 MIT Sloan School Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! John Shockey will launch a series of talks on the Cocoa programming language and Objective C: The subject of the talk is the Objective-C language, which is a simple Smalltalk-like extension to C. I'll try to cover why it's good, why it isn't, a little about how it differs from C++, and much of what you need to know about it if you're going to program using Cocoa. My intention is that if people are sufficiently interested, I can keep talking about Cocoa for several more meetings. *********************** NOTE ROOM INFORMATION: We are official scheduled for room E51-057 (which is unusual for us, and leads me to believe it might be crowded), where we may be forced to move to. We will probably be in this room, but if not check the E315, E325, E335, sequence. *********************** As you have probably noticed, we have moved to a new list server for the mail announcements. Information on this list server is at: Note: The room number is officially 395, but we often move to a room with a better projector, which has been room 315 for some time. So now I am just going to announce 315, if we're not in there, continue to the next rooms to the right until you find us. Failing all this, we will try to find a room on the first floor. You can get a map showing building E51 at The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month. (Sometimes I screw up the date of the notice, but it's always the first Wednesday) You can get more information on the MacTechGrp (and currently out of date meeting information) at http://www.codewell.com/mactechgrp To contact the unindicted co-conspirator irresponsible for this group, email owen@ids.net *** Do you aspire to someday speak before the august MacTechGrp? Whether you're a new programmer or an old pro, you probably have something interesting you could tell the rest of the group. Fear not, your lucky day could be at hand, but slots are filling fast. Send an email to owen@ids.net with your proposed topic.*** _______________________________________________ Mactechgroup-announce mailing list Mactechgroup-announce@lists.mactechgroup.org http://lists.mactechgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/mactechgroup-announce
