On May 9 we hosted the first-ever Vancouver Xcoders! Xcoders is a speaker series about development on Apple platforms. If you’re interested in attending or speaking at an Xcoders event, we’d love to see you at our next event. We’re aiming to have one every 2-3 months.

Xcoders is the next iteration of the VanCocoa event we’ve run since 2013. While we’re still keen on providing a platform and gathering place for the city’s experienced Cocoa developers, we’ve taken a page from our namesake group Seattle Xcoders in broadening our mission to reaching out to the wider iOS and Mac development community here in Vancouver.

There are a lot of folks doing great work on excellent apps right here in town, and we’d like to bring more of that community out of their shells and offices, and into casual communication about how to make great apps.

Also, our new logo features a sweet whale – how could you resist joining now?
