Macintosh for UNIX natives: Stranger in a not-so-strange land

In April we discussed how an UNIX Native could survive with their sanity intact on a Windows machine. This month we’ll take a closer look the Macintosh OS X operating system. It’s not quite as strange as you might think; having a UNIX operating system at it’s very core, but there are notable differences. Wolf will come to talk with us about surviving on a Mac OSX system as a UNIX user. This will be an interesting and enlightening talk for anyone who is considering using a Macintosh machine, or for those who want to get the most out of the UNIX side of their OS. You won’t want to miss this!

Google Maps API

Whenever you’re out in strange territory, it’s always helpful to have a map handy. Google has an excellent maps API that is available for use. Jim McQuillan and Will Fuqua have played a bit with the Google Maps API, and will talk about their usage of the Google Maps API. If you’ve ever wanted to write an application that required mapping, you’ll definitely want to check this out!

And we’ll also have our normal MUG meeting features: Jobs Looking For People, People Looking for Jobs, news and events, and much much more.

Hope to see you there!
