iPhone Developers Meetup at Manoa Innovation Center
December 2, 2009 from 6pm to 7:30pm
Presentation by Rama McIntosh: Release early, release often, and App Store's release date craziness.

Android will likely have more 'seats' (hands?), but you'll make far more money on iPhone.
Let's talk fitness, health and nutrition among IT workforces.
We can share our experiences, ask questions, find workout partners, get together for group workouts and simply help each other to stay motivated :)
Ken,
If you're concentrating on anything besides iPhone and Android, you're probably going to be far, far behind the power curve.
PhoneGap is likely OK.

Your argument essentially states:
Premise #1, ESR does not have a computer science education
Premise #2, ESR is not a expert programme...
There is a 'quote of the day', currently on the front page of TechHui that states:
"Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter. - Eric Raymond...
ICS 197
Tues/Thur 1:30 - 2:45
Taught by Sam Rhoads
Any night other than Weds, and I'd be there.
So I've just finished a 2-day iPhone programming course in Portland (I fly back to HNL in about 7 hours) put on by Mobile Orchard's Dan Gringsby. I've learned a lot in 2 days, mostly about dealing with the workflow issues in Xcode (I'm an old emac...

The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as Artificial Intelligence, C/C++ Developers and Sys Admins.
We hope you find TechHui useful and invite others. Have a great week!
