BANG Developer SIG

Speaker: Bennett Leeds, Adobe Systems
Topic: Application Architecture and Design
Place: NeXT, 123 Saginaw Rd., Redwood City
Date: Tuesday, September 22nd
Time: 7:00pm

(Topic Subtitle: "Buddhist Implications in a Judeo-Christian
World")

Bennett Leeds, a noted developer from Adobe Systems, will give
his views on designing applications. He holds views that he
says, "runs counter to what talented, experienced programmers
do every day."  Topics to be discussed include the good and
the bad in the Application Kit, the relative merits of toolkits
on other platforms and a few tips on designing portable
applications for evolving operating systems and multiple
platforms.

He's told us that he doesn't mind dodging a few darts during
his presentation (so bring sharp ones) but that his real
concern is that not many people are interested in ways to
structure applications.  We told him he's wrong. We hope you
can make it and help back us up on that.

Members and non-members alike are welcome.
There is no charge to attend.

Note: If you have any ideas for future topics or speakers (or
would like to volunteer to speak on a relevant developer topic)
please send email to ken_fromm@bang.org or call (415) 949-4933.

BANG Sponsored NeXTSTEP 3.0 Upgrade Service

The proposal for a BANG sponsored NeXTSTEP 3.0 upgrade service that
was mentioned in previous meeting announcements hasn't generated
enough interest to make it worthwhile. Another more informal option
may present itself in the future. Watch this space for details.
