Our next meeting is on Thursday, 5/23 and our speaker will be Steve Baker founder of Beepscore. Here is Steve’s summary of the talk

*Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. You can add whatever sensors and actuators you like. You can extend Arduino with modules and pluggable shields.

I'll give a brief overview of Arduino, then demonstrate a new BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) shield and show sample code to connect from Objective-C *

The meeting starts at 7pm (Thursday, May 23) and it will be held in the 1st floor conference room (room 101) of Thinkspace in downtown Redmond.

Thinkspace is a 2-minute walk from the Redmond transit center. So if you’re coming over from downtown Seattle, you can take ST Express 545 to get here quickly. Alternately, if you drive, parking is free.

This month's Seattle meeting features presentations by Kyle Sluder of The Omni Group and Aengus McMillin of the UW Computer Science Department.

Kyle is a software engineer for Omni, and will be talking about text layout. Aengus is a computer science major at UW, and will be talking about CocoaPods, an open source package management system.

The meeting is Thursday, May 9, on the UW Campus, in Johnson Hall 111, beginning at 7 pm. This is the same room where we met in April. Anyone is welcome. Both of these talks will be of interest to any Cocoa programmer, whether you're targeting OS X or iOS.

The mailing list is still down, so please keep receiving updates via one of the other avenues on the About page.
