CocoaHeads Hong Kong~ for Cocoa, Mac, iPhone, iPad, iOS developers

Folkert, Ken, Simon, Wayne and me showed up last Thursday. We had a great time in Cafe Corridor @ Causeway Bay. In the meetup, we chatted about the latest iPhone landscape and some general impression to the new SDK 3.0.

Wayne showed us the Yum Cha Dim Sum (Food) app from his team. To me, Dim Sum is so not special. But, once again, iPhone is a global market. There is quite a significant number of people in the Japanese and English speaking community who are interested in Chinese food culture.

In April, we will have our formal meetup. I will announce the details later.

Apple has announced WWDC 2009!!  The event ticket costs USD$1295 when you purchase by April 24. This is really not cheap.

According to my past WWDC experience it costs me roughly USD$2000 to 2500 for the whole trip if you stay in cheap hostel. But, yeah, hostel experience in San Francisco isn’t really that good. But the conference itself is for sure a good experience. I met quite some friends through my past 2 visits to the conference.

Are you going for the event this June? Leave us a comment here.

Well, who didn’t watch the live text cast? Guess none of us would answer no!

The iPhone OS 3.0 has been announced. Apple is saying there are 1000 new APIs and 100 new features. So, fellow CocoaHeads, it’s time to learn some new stuff! The great thing is… the new OS is available to us as beta immediately!

With this announcement, I think we can’t not do a meetup about the latest OS in April (if terms allow).

MACitizen is organizing an event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Macintosh!

Details can be found in their web site.
