December Meeting: Lightning Talks and Show and Tell Night

The December meeting will be a Discussion/Presentation combined meeting due to the holidays making it difficult to find the time for a meeting. I'd like to get as many people who want to give a short talk on something or give a demo of what they've been working on a chance to do so.

• Christopher Stott, a co-founder of buddybuild (http://buddybuild.com/), will be in town for this month's meetup to get us started with a quick demo buddybuild (spoiler warning: it's pretty cool).

Here's a quick overview of what buddybuild is trying to do:

Frustrations with Testflight? Tired of cobbling together disparate build, deployment, crash reporting, and feedback systems to meet your iOS and Android development needs?

Buddybuild ties together continuous integration, continuous delivery, and an iterative feedback solution into a single, seamless platform for your mobile apps. Their mission is to eliminate the complexity of building, deploying and gathering feedback for developers. With buddybuild, you can focus on what matters most - creating awesome mobile apps.

• Tyler Spaeth will be demoing some cool stuff he's put together with using multi-touch in 3D.

• Marc Charbonneau will tell us what he's learned about Unwind Segues recently.

• Joe Hoffman, Director of Field Engineering at Dynatrace will give us a demo of their product: Have you ever wanted to know more about how your iOS app behaves in the wild? So what exactly did the user do before your app crashed? Was that on a jailbroken device? Had they authenticated yet? What did the user enter into that text field that ended up in that long running query they complain about? So what user action caused that long running SQL statement down on Oracle? A developers dream: A call tree from the user action, thru the mobile app, down into the data center all the way to the database. Yes for every user, every action, all the time. Dynatrace brings all this direct to you the developer to help provide quick resolution of nasty production bugs. Come see a better way to answer and resolve those elusive bugs reported from the field.

• Mike Jones will tell us about TableViewControllers and Segues/Unwind Segues.

Shoot me a message here or on Slack or on twitter (@aranasaurus) or an email if you have something you'd like to present on (any length between 5-20 minutes is great). It'd be the best Christmas present ever if I could get a bunch of you to present on something this month, so if you're thinking about it but not sure... please do! :)
