The Feburary meetup held last week is our first meetup in the year of Ox! We have to thank Cesar from bambooapps for sharing with us his personal experience in iPhone data transfer. If you are one of those who are developing a counterpart of your Mac application, you will, for sure, feel the sweets and bitters Cesar highlighted.
Thank everyone for coming. We also need to Thank the Hong Kong University Alumni Association for supporting us in the venue.
See you guys next time in April.

Bonjour, fellow Cocoaheads!
In this meetup, we will discuss iPhone data transfer using Bonjour. Bonjour is Apple’s implementation of zero-configuration networking. It eliminates most network setup hassle by completely removing network setting from users. It is, for sure, the best solution to implement network communication in our iPhone applications.
Cesar from bambooapps will lead the discussion on this topic. Cesar is an indie developer from Spain who is currently staying in Hong Kong. His company’s flagship apps include - FND, FND iPhone and the-very-popular Keep Your Word.
Cesar is in our facebook group as well. Please feel free to meet him there.

This is the first CocoaHeads gathering without iPhone NDA!! Let’s interject by doing an iPhone related topic.
Topic: Web service integration with iPhone
Web 2.0 service related iPhone apps constitute a large proportion of the popular iPhone app category – facebook, twitterrific, linked in…
In the gathering, we will discuss how to a few essential components in iPhone OS which allow us to talk to common Web service API. We will try to evaluate a few approaches with code example. The talk will be short. We will have lots of time to discuss the topics, your experience and other random stuff. 
We are moving to a new venue – Alumni Lounge. A big thank to the HKU Alumni Association for the venue support. It’s right on top of Cosmos Cafe near LKF. Drinks and wonderful snacks (u’ve gotta try the shrimp toast!!) will be available at a good price too. So, please come, buy a drink and chill

Ruby expert – Chris Chan will host the Ruby-Cocoa scripting topic for us.
We will cover Ruby basics, Cocoa and Ruby syntax comparison and sample code.
Apple added official support to Ruby scripting, first, in Leopard. You can find Cocoa Ruby project template in Xcode. Everything in Cocoa can, basically, be mapped to Ruby through the RubyCocoa bridge.
You can have a Cocoa application project that mixes Ruby and Objective-C source files. This adds a lot more flexibility in developing our applications.
We are looking forward to see how we can leverage the beauty of Ruby in Cocoa application from Chris that evening.
Date/Time: August 21, 2008 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
