NSCoder, getting together for iOS and Mac Development help.

Coding exercises, help with existing code for mac / iOS development.

NSCoder is about Cocoa developers getting together to help each other code. We're also following the Stanford CS193p fall 2011 course. Come join and follow along.

Where iOS and Mac developers get together to solve coding mysteries.

NSCoder, where iOS and Mac developers get together to cover new topics and help tutor.

Join us for a technical overview of asynchronous programming on iOS with our own Paul Jungwirth covering:

• an overview of ARC, strong/weak references.

• blocks & closures, including the "strong-weak dance"

• techniques for writing to memory from multiple threads.

• GCD - queues and dispatch_async.

Agenda:

• Intros & Announcements

• Presentation

• Questions and Discussions

• Old Town Pizza for food, drink and further discussion.

Paul Jungwirth is a freelance developer specializing in Rails, Postgres, Javascript, and Chef, with some iOS thrown in too. In high school he helped build one of the first HTTP servers for the Macintosh, and despite efforts to escape to the humanities, he can't seem to quit his love for programming.

Join beginning and experienced mobile developers to work on projects together. Come ask questions, give help and get help. All levels of experience are welcome.

This week will will also take a look at the next online class offered by Coursera:

https://www.coursera.org/course/posa

Class starts May 12th, but you can get previews of the lectures early. The class is free and so is getting help with homework though our workgroup.

The group is very informal and so feel free to show up early or late and leave early or late, as suits your schedule.

We will meet near the power outlets by the clear glass windows. Look for the orange backpack to find us.
