I’m an iPhone user. So are a few of my coworkers, and many of the people we interact with in the .NET development world. I also use Macs as my primary computers.
The success of David Hayden’s Tampa Bay MVC SIG, devoted to learning ASP.NET MVC, has inspired quite a few people on the Twittersphere to discuss starting an Objective-C/Cocoa developer’s group, with an iPhone focus, in a similar vein. One of my coworkers, who I will refer to as “RS”, pointed out that we either need to fish or cut bait, and suggested we start the group ourselves. So we did.
We’re still arranging things. I’m something of a de facto PR person for the group (as I’m the Twitter veteran). Our meeting location is as yet undetermined; we’re in touch with USF Polytechnic regarding the use of their space. We also have no sponsors: this is strictly out-of-pocket for now.
I can’t promise great things yet, but we’re trying to get the ball rolling.
