MacCode repo

No Comments - Filed under: News, Cocoa, Mac developers, Open Source, oss - Published by blakestar

I got an email from Chris “The_Tick” Forsythe today that reminded of this blog. It seems that blogs of wiki projects don’t get much attention but maybe they should. Chris has posted a new resource to the Cocoa dev community: MacCode repo. It’s hosted on Google.

My name is Chris Forsythe, and I think you may be able to help with something I’ve been working on in my spare time (spare time, hah!). The long and short of it is that I’ve setup a code repo for mac code which can be reused. My hope is that this might be useful to folks, I know it’s already come in handy for me a couple of times. This is based out of the frustration that I and others have had when trying to find code instead of having a single place to look to find stuff. Jonathan Wright originally came up with the idea.

Check it out MacCode repo.

The Tale of Two Cities

30 Comments - Filed under: News - Published by tyler

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was but the weekend of not only CocoaDevHouseLondon but CocoaDevHouseTexas as well. The London event (rsvp on upcoming) is provisionally set to occur at the “Idea Store” at the Canary Wharf, according to Richy King via this google groups message (map). The venue for the Austin event is still undecided but will be resolved within the next two days, updates will be made to the wiki page as well as the google group.

We will be attempting a CocoaDevHouse link up via iChat AV or otherwise, depending how organized things go this upcoming saturday (Sept. 9th). If you are planning on attending either one of the events, feel free to add yourself to their respective wiki pages (london, texas (austin)). Both events should be a blast as we’ve got plenty lined up in terms of presentations as well as discussions, etc.

We will be sure to upload presentations, sample code, tutorials, and anything else that is generated from either of the events and I’ll post again here postmortem linking to everybody’s contributions to CocoaDevHouse(London/Texas). If you’re going to blog, flickr, or tag anything regarding these two events, the suggested tags are: cocoadevhouse, cocoadevhousetexas, cocoadevhouselondon, cdhtexas, cdhlondon

A special thanks to Realmac software, Wired Up & Fired Up and bitcartel for their sponsorship of CocoaDevHouseLondon.

Saddle up for CocoaDevHouseTexas

Just when you thought it was safe to pack away your PowerBooks, MacBooks, and iBooks, CocoaDevHouse is back! Organization for CocoaDevHouseTexas, which will meet in Austin, is already underway so feel free to add yourself to the list of attendees. Chris Forsythe, of Growl, Adium, and Foom Software will be giving a presentation, as well as demonstrating a new application. Second on the list of presentations is my own (R. Tyler Ballance) presentation on using the Dumbarton bridge to leverage the cross-platform power of C# (via Mono).

The event is currently scheduled for Sept. 9th, coincidentally, the same date of CocoaDevHouseLondon. We’ve got people travelling from Dallas/Plano, Houston, and San Antonio, so if you need/want to carpool, just contact one of the individuals on the current list of attendees, hope to see you there!
