NIMUG

XCake is the user group for developers on the Mac and iPhone platform (or essentially any one who uses XCode and likes Cake).

Venue: 82A02, University of Ulster, York Street, Belfast
RSVP: http://digitalcircle.ning.com/events/xcake-belfast-december-meetup

From PS->IB
Chris McClelland of Ecliptic Design has volunteered to give an introduction to Interface Builder which should be of interest to developers as well as designers.

Other demos
Stuart Mackey may show off his latest project.

We’d also like to hear from folk who have used tools like PhoneGap, NimbleKit and other methods of making iPhone apps.

Apple are holding a Tech Series event in Belfast on the 18th November. Event opens at 12:15 with the session to start at 1 pm. Register by clicking the image above.

As you can see from the programme, there’s a lot more than just iPhone and a lot of the talks are very high level. Plus at over 130 attendees in Belfast and 260 in Dublin, it’s the biggest Mac and iPhone event in Ireland, ever!

It’ll take the place of this month’s NIMUG meeting - mainly because I’m organising both!

Register on the web site and come and represent the platform. There’ll be a lot of Apple logos in the room!

On the 23rd and 24th of April, Digital Circle, in conjunction with the Digital Media Forum are holding an iPhone developers workshop in Dublin and Belfast.
