CocoaHeads: Des Moines, Iowa Cocoa Programmers' Group
Yes, Virginia, there are people coding with Cocoa in Iowa. More than you would expect, actually...
The Des Moines, Iowa CocoaHeads group is a monthly meeting for developers of all skill levels to discuss Cocoa and Cocoa-related topics. There are no fees to attend and anyone who's interested in developing software for MacOS X is welcome.
We meet on the second Thursday of each month unless otherwise scheduled differently. We also rotate our meetings between Des Moines and Ames (odd months are in DSM, even are in Ames) to accommodate our Iowa State University members.
Please join our mailing lists, courtesy of SourceForge: cocoaheads-announce, a low-traffic moderated list for CocoaHeads-related announcements (such as upcoming meetings), and cocoaheads-discuss, open mailing list for Project and Cocoa-related discussion.
Also available are stylish CocoaHeads T-shirts available for $10 each. Contact Mark D. if you are interested.
Schedule:
The next CocoaHeads: Thursday September 11, 2008 07:00 PM CST at Impromptu Studio - Downtown Des Moines.
Directions:

Agenda:
