aven't blogged in a while. Hi. Long, hot, crazy summer. Now that summer is cooling off, the next big thing coming up for me is the
iPhone/iPad DevCon happening in San Diego on the 27
th of this month. I'm both looking forward to it and terrified of it, as I've volunteered to do
two talks there. Seemed like a great idea 3 months ago, but now that it's just around the corner, … trying to get organized and make a good set of slides.
My talks will be aimed at people who are new to either subject. One is on blocks in Objective-C, and the other is on scientific programming, but it's going to be primarily aimed at introducing people to the Accelerate framework. These are both subjects that I wanted to get better at this summer, which was part of why I chose them. I'm going to be doing a mini talk on the Accelerate framework this Tuesday (Sep. 14
th) at the CAWUG meeting in downtown Chicago, if you're around and interested.
If you have ideas about what you'd be hoping to hear about on either topic if you were in the audience (and please come!), leave me a note in the comments and I'll see about working it in.
BTW, if you want to go to the conference and still have not signed up, low rates are being offered before Sept 17
th, and you'll get an extra touch of a discount if you use the code "BIGGUS" when registering.
