CocoaHeads Hong Kong~ for Cocoa, Mac, iPhone developers

Derek is one of our guests in the upcoming meetup on May 26. Besides being the owner of a Newton MessagePad 2100, Derek is also the chairman of MACitizen – an active local Mac user group and co-host the 大蘋果時代 podcast. You can find his column in some local computer magazines and newspaper as well.

The idea of this May Meetup is inspired by MACitizen April event where, in one segment, they did a side-by-side comparison of the iPad and Newton MessagePad. We should thank Derek for bringing along his Newton MessagePad, and, for inspiring us to do this Newton Not iPad event!

Let’s meet Derek in the event.

The April issue of Wired Magazine is out! There’s 2 great articles covering the iPad and its implication to computing.

• How the Tablet Will Change the World
• 13 of the Brightest Tech Minds Sound Off on the Rise of the Tablet

Make these you weekend reading.

(there’s a short summary in my personal site too)

Guess most of us have been rejected by Apple in the app approval process. It’s actually quite annoying given that you have waited 3 to unknown days for the result of the approval process. And, the result is negative.

People have started sites which aggregate rejection cases and reasons. Here are the 2 that I know:

• App Rejections
• Apple Rejected Me

Stanford University should be the first few universities which offer iPhone programming course. (Well, not sure if any university in Hong Kong is providing such training…)

Anyway, you don’t have to enroll Stanford to study the course. This is the iTunes U link to the iPhone Application Programming course.

Enjoy!

I am sure you are using services or applications of some sort to track your App Store sales. I’ve been researching about these stuff on the web and wanna share some links with you guys:

• app store sales tracking – this post contains further links to some useful resources
• iPhone App Sales Report: Automate Download and HTML Report Script – a post by our friend Leon
• AppStatz – it’s a paid service recommended by my friend Lukhnos
• AppSales Mobile - it’s an open source iPhone app which allows you to analyze your sales on-the-go!
