Welcome to the CocoaHeads of Minnesota
The Minnesota Chapter of the CocoaHeads User Group was founded in the Spring of 2008. Our group is a community gathering for people interested in developing software for the Macintosh, iPhone, and iPad platforms. The group was formed with the goal of bringing like-minded developers together to share experiences, insights, and techniques. Our monthly meetings are a mix of informal and interactive presentations, hands on coding, and discussion.
We meet the 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm at the offices of Thomson Reuters in Eagan, MN. (see map).

This month Robert Altman will be giving a presentation entitled "3D Programming for iOS"
Are you interested in integrating 3D graphics in your applications, writing 3D games, or just learning about 3D development? I’ll introduce you to important 3D concepts and tools as we walk through the development of a 3D iPad application and explore the rich world of 3D graphics for mobile devices.
Topics include:- OpenGL,
- how OpenGL ES fits into iOS and Cocoa-touch,
- manipulating a 3D model in blender,
- importing a 3D model in your application,
- animating and manipulating the 3D model at runtime,
- creating an icon from a 3D model, and
- resources for 3D development.
