CocoaHeads Aachen
About CocoaHeads
CocoaHeads.org is an international group devoted to discussion of Apple's Cocoa Framework for programming on Mac OS X. During monthly meetings, members present on their projects and offer tutorials on various programming topics.We are the CocoaHeads Aachen Chapter, hosted by the Media Computing and Human-Computer Interaction Group at RWTH Aachen University and supported by Apple. We get together for informal short talks and demos, have a pizza, and talk code.
For a more informal get-together, check out the almost weekly NSCoderNight Köln events (in Cologne).

NSCoder Night
We have organized a few NSCoder Night events in Aachen and Cologne recently. These are entirely informal events with no presentations, just a get-together where you bring the project you're working on and talk code with others.Next Event:
Currently, there are no planned events in Aachen, but why not visit the weekly NSCoderNight Köln in Cologne?
Other Activities in the Area
There are more Cocoa events happening in the area than you might think! Here are a few pointers:Check the worldwide CocoaHeads home page for additional chapters in Germany and elsewhere!
