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.

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.

General Agenda - the event plan will be much the same both days - some of the folk will be in Belfast, some in Dublin. The titles and names here are, in some cases, speculative.

Introduction to iPhone and OS 3 - NDA-permitting - Paul Burford, Apple
Developing your first app

UI/INTERFACE
User Interface for Small Devices

This event is built upon the XCake.org iPhone Developer Community.
For those planning to make a trip of it - BarCampBelfast is on Saturday 25th April.

A quick shout out to our cousins who run Mobile Monday: Colm Hayden and Norbert Sagnard, for their “Show me your App …” demo night.
The hottest topic in Mobile World Congress, Barcelona was surely Apps! So our next event on Monday 23 March 2009 will all be about applications, come to our “Show me your App…” demo night (no PPT slides!) at 5:15pm at Queen’s University, in the Peter Froggat Centre (the white building at the back of the inner courtyard).
More information here, but to secure your seat, register now.

If you’re interested in Mobile apps, including those on iPhone, then make sure to pop along.

[NIMUG March meeting will be on Monday 30th, advertised tomorrow!]

These are two informal meetups for people interested in Mac OS X and iPhone OS X development.

These are informal meetups just to see who’s interested.
