If you're in the Bay Area

Just spotted this on Scott Stevensons blog: this month's CocoaHeads meeting will have a special treat. Apple's Evangelist for Developer and Performance Tools, Michael Jurewitz, who is also the man behind Apple's iPhone Tech Talks, is going to give an "Introduction to iPhone Development" presentation.

Note that they are not meeting at their normal location, they're at Intuit in Mountain View this month.

Craig Hockenberry on Debugging again

The Icon Factory's Craig Hockenberry has had a great series of blog posting on debugging problems experienced by your customers. today's posting is another great one in the series. Craig is the author of the excellent Twitterific for the Mac and iPhone and has been writing programs for the iPhone since before an official SDK has existed, so when he takes the time to blog, you should take the time to read.

Great Core Animation Project

Scott Anguish, who started the excellent Stepwise website back in the NeXT days, and who is now one of the main list moderators for the Cocoa-Dev mailing list (and also currently works for Apple), has recently started a blog.

There's not much there yet, but one of his recent postings includes a sample Xcode project created showing some cool Core Animation stuff. It's a Mac application, not an iPhone one, but it's small, really clean, and well-written example of Core Animation code. Though there are some differences between using CA on the Mac and iPhone, there are enough similarities to make it well worth your while to download the project and read through the code. Scott was an old hand at Objective-C when I started learning it toward the end of the last millennia.

Here is the blog posting with the link to the project.
