[Macpartners] Upcoming Apple Events

[Patrick McNeal]

I hope that everyone's having a good New Year.  With MacWorld next  
week and IAP in full swing, there are a number of Apple related events  
I wanted to make sure people were aware of.

First off, I'll be giving a recap of MacWorld at the January  
MacPartners meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2007.  Later in the month,  
there are three Apple related IAP sessions covering the iPhone, 10.5  
Server and Developer Tools.  Details for all upcoming events are  
included below.

If you're attending MacWorld and would like to meet up with other MIT  
folks, send me an e-mail off list and I'll keep you posted on any  
plans that might come up.

The Apple iPhone was introduced in June, 2007 and changed the way we  
think about smartphones. One of the key features of the iPhone is the  
ability to view full web sites as well as take advantage of web  
applications specifically designed for the iPhone.

This session will provide an introduction to the iPhone and web  
applications:

1. Introduction to the iPhone
2. How does the iPhone work @ MIT?
3. Web Applications for the iPhone: Examples
4. How to create Web Applications for the iPhone

Introduction to Mac OS X Leopard Server

Broad Auditorium, 7 Cambridge Center
http://student.mit.edu/searchiap/iap-8312.html

Most people have seen Apple's Mac OS X client software, but have you  
ever seen their server solution? Built on open source technologies and  
open standards, Apple has created a product that can easily fit into  
just about any environment. During this session, Stephen Ragalevsky, a  
senior systems engineer with Apple, will give an introduction to Mac  
OS X 10.5 Server and cover topics such as deployment, collaboration  
tools, podcast producer and how to integrate it with existing MIT  
infrastructure.

Mac OS X Leopard Development Tools
Thursday January 31, 2008, 1 - 3:00 p.m.
32-123
http://student.mit.edu/searchiap/iap-8440.html

Leopard, Apple's sixth major release of Mac OS X, contains many new  
features geared towards developers. Join Steve Hayman, a National  
Consulting Engineer with Apple's US Education Team, as he discuss  
these tools, including:

+ XCode and Interface Builder 3.0
+ Instruments, a performance visualization tool built on top of the  
open source DTrace utility
+ Reusable frameworks included in Mac OS X

During his talk, Steve will create an application using some of these  
tools, and if we are lucky, it might involve an unplanned  
demonstration of the debugger as well.
