NSConference Videos Available
A few months ago, Mac and iPhone developers got together in the UK for NSConference, two days of geeking out and discussing all things Apple. I was lucky enough to be invited to talk at the conference, and delivered the presentation 'What a Performance', which takes a journey through the Mac performance universe as it now stands.
Take a journey through the Mac performance cosmos, with stopovers in exotic destinations like Xgrid Foundation, NSOperation, and Grand Central Dispatch. Never observed an XGActionMonitor in full flight, or got your NSOperation priorities right? Join us for this once in a lifetime opportunity. We’ll look at the emerging trends, and common threads that bind all levels of the performance equation. How are the techniques used in High-Performance Computing similar to those used in modern Cocoa apps running on the latest multi-core laptops? Don’t know, but come along and we’ll see if we can figure it out. This talk will cover everything, from the death of multi-threading, to Snow Leopard niceties like blocks in C and OpenCL. Not to be missed.
You can now purchase this and other videos of the conference from the Mac Developer Network. Proceeds help keep running what has become a great resource for developers, so by purchasing some videos you can support the developer community, and get something to watch on your AppleTV to boot.
