====================================================================

Dear AUUG Member,

You've read about Mac OS X's UNIX-based, open source core in
technical publications all over the Web. Now here's your chance to
evaluate Mac OS X as a development platform in one afternoon.

You are cordially invited to attend a free Mac OS X Tech Talk,
brought to you by the Apple Developer Connection, in either Sydney
or Melbourne near the end of this month.

-------------------------
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
-------------------------
These half-day briefings are designed to inform developers who wish
to learn more about Mac OS X's standards-based development
architecture. Several topics will be covered, including:

 * Mac OS X Technology Overview - Investigate the structure of
   Mac OS X and the range of development options it offers. You'll
   learn about Darwin (the UNIX-based, open source core of
   platform), plus Mac OS X's powerful graphics technologies,
   development frameworks, and the eye-catching "Aqua" user
   interface.

 * Porting to Mac OS X - Find out how quickly you can port Java and
   UNIX-based applications to Mac OS X. You'll also learn ways to
   extend Java and Unix applications by accessing native services.

 * Java Support in Mac OS X-  Explore Mac OS X's robust
   implementation of Sun's Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE).
   You'll learn how to use the JFC/Swing API to give your
   application the "Aqua" look-and-feel, plus details on the Java
   HotSpot virtual machine, familiar development tools, and much
   more.

 * Cocoa Development Overview - Discover how to create full-featured
   applications that use a lot less code with Cocoa, Mac OS X's
   object-oriented framework for rapid application development.
