The CocoaHeads provide a forum for developers using Apple Computer's Cocoa Framework for programming on Mac OS X. In plain English this means they provide a place to discuss how to write programs for the Macintosh. Initially this was just for developing applications for the Macintosh, but now they also cover development for the iPhone (and iPod touch) as the tools used are very similar.

In recent weeks both groups have totally revamped their web sites, making it easier to find out about the extensive range of services and benefits they both offer their members. Services range from meetings to libraries, online stores to printed magazines — and a whole lot more.

In a way, I hate developer-oriented announcements — "here's a really cool thing we're working on, and it's available now, and hoi polloi can have it in about six months". Actually, it's the six months I hate.
