About CocoaHeads (Köln)

CocoaHeads is a group devoted to the discussion of Apple’s Cocoa and CocoaTouch Frameworks for programming on MacOS X and iOS. During monthly meetings, members present their projects and offer tutorials on various programming topics.

We are the CocoaHeads Cologne Chapter, hosted by Mobile2b. We get together for informal short talks and demos and sharing our knowledge.
