The Apple University Consortium is pleased to announce it is offering 20 partially funded places to each of the AUC’s REALBasic Workshops to be held in Melbourne on the 24 – 26 November and Sydney on 3 - 5 December.

Realbasic (RB) is an object-oriented version of Basic programming language developed and commercially marketed by Real Software Inc. The programming language is relatively easy to learn, has a comprehensive development platform commonly known as an Integrated Developers Environment (IDE) and runs on many different platforms including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

If you are only new to programming and what to write great Graphical User Interface applications that are feature rich – then Realbasic is for you.

The AUC in conjunction with Apple Computer Australia, will be holding CreateWorld 2008, a 3 day presentation and technical development event, specifically for Academic and Higher-Education Technical staff in the digital arts disciplines.

The AUC Innovation (Seeding) Grant program for 2008 is designed to inspire creative people and to foster innovation. The program is primarily aimed at students (but staff may also apply) and is designed to give you a chance to show what you can do with resources and support.

The program requires that you commit to a project of your own choosing. You'll have the support of a mentor, and be provided with equipment and resources to complete the project. You'll be required to share the progress of your project (through a project blog), and the outcome (either via open source licensing, creative commons licensing, or something similar).

The Apple University Consortium is pleased to announce it is offering 20 partially funded places to each of the AUC Ruby for Mac OS X Workshop to be held in Sydney on the 9-10 October and Melbourne on 2 -3 October.

Ruby is a object oriented program language which has a syntax which is simple and consistent.

Because of its underlying design, Ruby has found a number of uses in a number of areas. Today we have RubyCocoa, which provides a Bridge between Ruby and Objective C languages, allowing users to manipulate Objectice C objects from Ruby and vica-versa. In addition to this there is Ruby on Rails which is a web application framework, allowing developers to write powerful web applications quickly and easily.

This workshop starts off by looking at the rules and principals governing the Ruby Programming Language before examining how Ruby can be used on the Mac to write great RubyCocoa or Rails applications.
