UPDATE: Looks like we'll have to cancel this. Nobody seems to have RSVPed, so maybe next time. I'll assume that there's a lack of interest in having this discussion unless folks contact me and let me know.
Hello all!
I'd like to plan for another mini-meeting. We were talking about gathering at the same place and talking Design Patterns for Actionscript 3 (or just in general is fine).
A few of us have bought Actionscript 3 Design Patterns by William Sanders and Chandima Cumaranatunge:
For those of us with the book, we'll be picking chapters/design patterns to read up on and talk about - and though we'd love it if you got the book, feel free to read up on the design pattern of your choice elsewhere and come armed with that!
Please RSVP if you can make it, and pick a chapter of the book and/or a design pattern and let us know what it is - and write it in the comments below!
We'll be meeting at 6pm on Wednesday November 5th. This will be at Champions Bar: 10255-200 Chapel Hill Rd in Morrisville. There will be Wi-Fi, so feel free to bring a laptop.
And PS...it looks like some go-getters are taking two chapters, so feel free to take more than one!
