VIJUG Team
We had a great meeting last night with a lot of questions and discussions. We had 20 people coming to Svens presentation about iPhone development. He presented the usage of Xcode and the Objective C language in a very interactive demo as well as answered the many questions from the audience. With a bunch of other iPhone developers in the audience and a interested crowd we had a great meeting.
At the raffle Cliff and Oleg took licenses for IntelliJ and JRebel home and a few others walked away with books from Sonatype and informit.
Ten of us headed over to the pub as well and spent quite a while there geeking out more about mac, iphone, android, ipad, oracle-sun and lots more.
I hope you will join us next month.
