AmesMUG: Announcing NSCoder Night (calling all Mac/iPhone Developers)

[Colin Wheeler]

Hello All,

I just thought I'd announce here my intention to start up a local  
NSCoder night in Ames. If you don't know what NSCoder night is you can  
go here ( http://nscodernight.com/ .) In short NSCoder night is an  
extremely informal get together of Cocoa Developers where basically  
it's just coding and working on your Mac / iPhone projects in a  
relaxing atmosphere where you can get help from fellow Cocoa  
Developers or just have informal discussions, basically you just work  
on or talk about whatever you want for how ever long you want  
(presumably till the venue closes at the latest). Where CocoaHeads  
meets are usually more formal (well... supposed to be) and structured  
around a presentation with some discussion and free time at the end,  
NSCoder nights are all about working on Cocoa Projects and finding  
solutions to problems in your Projects or just getting advice from  
from fellow Cocoa Developers. NSCoder nights are meant to complement  
CocoaHeads meetings and will never conflict with CocoaHeads meetings  
scheduling wise.

I am planning on having a NSCoder night Tuesday in Ames at some place  
like The Stomping Grounds, The Library or Starbucks or if someone  
knows another great place to do this like if there is someplace at ISU  
to meet then we can do it there. If enough people come from around  
other areas we can do the same thing we do with CocoaHeads and meet at  
some location somewhere in the middle geographically on alternate  
meetings. I will definitely be around to help out in addition to  
working on my projects.

Right now (unless someone can suggest a better place) the NSCoder  
night this week will be at The Stomping Grounds ( http://www.amesbeat.com/restaurant/stomping-grounds.htm 
  ) in Ames at 7pm on Tuesday. Be There!

I will try to post the meeting times to Chris Hanson ( http://twitter.com/nscodernight 
  ) on twitter and will also mention it on my twitter feed (http://twitter.com/cocoasamurai 
  .)
