Come to the March meeting to hear about combining the power of both Flex, PHP, and Test Driven Development!
Presenter Eric Coker has been going on about his awesome PHP services for Flex. Now, we can see what he's talking about, and learn how we can leverage PHP in our Flex pojects.
And then, presenter John Scalco will tell us all about Test Driven Development in Flex. He'll explain what unit testing is, and show us how to set up Flex Unit in Adobe Flex Builder.
We'll also be opening up the floor to discussing RDAUG things like how to make our online presence better, and how we can continue with our homework/learning sessions.
See you then!
Actionscript 3.0 Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Flash Developers

Reviewed by: Ben Gomez Farrell
This is THE book you want to pick up if you already know Actionscript and you want to get caught up to speed on Actionscript 3 real fast. I started building something basic in Actionscript 3 from scratch, and I just referenced this book whenever I was stuck. If you're new to programming or new to Flash you may want to skip this book and pick up a more basic book, but for those that want to hit the ground running, and will get frustrated poring through chapters on the basics of Flash this is your book. For those that aren't familiar with Actionscript 2, but know other programming languages, this could also be a good book for you - but it will require a good level of programming savoire faire. Honestly, what can you really say about an O'Reilly Cookbook? It feels like I'm using a dictionary or encyclopedia to write a paper....it lives on your bookshelf, and you refer to it for 5 minutes, and then go back to your work with a complete understanding of what you wanted to know.
