What we’re about
We are a group of developers who focus on the macOS, iOS, tvOS, and visionOS SDKs in Swift and Objective-C.
Beginners are welcome to attend the meetings. iOS or Mac programming experience is not a prerequisite. Our meetings are informal and they are always free.
Seattle Xcoders was founded in October 2004. Early meetings were held in the classroom at the original University Village Apple Store, back when there was a classroom (it's now a Lululemon store). From 2005 to 2008, we operated as a SIG under DBUG (Seattle's Mac user group). Since then, we have been hosted by several different tech companies.
We expect everyone who attends our events to abide by our Code of Conduct: https://xcoders.org/code-of-conduct/

See all- Brent's Retirement Party Version TooBale breaker / Yonder taproom, Seattle , WA
We're going to keep doing this until we get it right! Brent was ill last month, and wasn't able to make it to his own retirement party. So we're trying it again. Note the early start.
Join the celebration of longtime (20 years!) Xcoder Brent Simmons's retirement from the working world — though not his retirement from Xcoders. :) Party starts at 5 pm and goes till closing (around 10 pm).
We'll have an outside section marked off (it might not be our normal area). The sign will say “Brent’s Retirement Party”. Bring your spouse or partner, bring your kids, bring your dog! Beer, cider, root beer, and other non-alcoholic beverages are available.
Here's Brent's Retirement Day blog post: https://inessential.com/2025/06/06/retirement-day.html
Xcoders Social happens on the third Thursday of every month. Our technical talks are held on the first Thursday of every month, and are a separate Meetup event. Come to both!
