NSManchester, March 2010 – WebObjects and Reverse Engineering Cocoa

Back to Apple topics this month with a couple of talks on WebObjects and Reverse Engineering Cocoa applications. The meeting is at our new regular venue of Madlab on the 8th March. I am not going to be able to attend this month unfortunately so Ciaran Walsh will be hosting (and talking at) the meeting so we have him to thank for it going ahead as scheduled! Anyway, on to the details:

Introduction to WebObjects, Alan Zebchuck
Alan will be giving an introduction to WebObjects, Apple’s somewhat forgotten Java-based web frameworks and will be demonstrating why they are still used by large and small organizations around the world.

Reverse Engineering Cocoa Apps, Ciarán Walsh
Ciarán will be talking about techniques for inspecting and reverse-engineering Cocoa applications and frameworks, including class-dump, otool and F-Script. He will talk about what can be learned from doing this, and also demo the making of a simple SIMBL hack using the information revealed.

The meeting will be held at 6:30pm (talks start at 7pm) on Monday 8th March at MadLab (map). If you would like to attend, please register for a free ticket!
