It’s an enjoyable Friday afternoon in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. We had our first event in the Cyberport co-hosted with the Cyberport Incubation Centre.
The event is mainly an overview to iPhone development. The speakers outlined characteristics of the iPhone market, success factors and personal experience. If you missed this event, don’t worry. CocoaHeads own meetup will be in October. Come join us by then.
Last but not least, we have to thank the speakers Gordon from GoGoalSoft, Chris from iGPSD and Franky from CDE Game for sharing their experience with us.

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!

Our friend – Steven Mak is organizing the Certified ScrumMaster course.
Date: 7 Sept – 8 Sept (2 days)
Venue: HKPC Building
Price: not free (please check in the official site)
This two-day course is designed to equip you with Agile software development knowledge on the Scrum methodology, and especially the rationale of the Scrum framework for product development — from the theory to practice.
The course is structured around stories and discussions and is targeted to anyone who wants a deep understanding of Scrum. This includes team members, Product Owners, Scrum Masters and other stakeholders. Most of the course is given from the Scrum Masters perspective.
The first day content is more conceptual. It covers background, overview, roles, empirical process control, and the key differences between Scrum and other ways of developing new products. It also contains common impacts to the larger organization.
The second day content is more practical and answers the how-to-do questions. How to do a backlog? How to plan? How to estimate? How to do a daily Scrum? How to scale? And so forth. At the end of the second day, the participant will have concrete knowledge on how to implement Scrum and an understanding of why to do it that way.
