7 Comment(s) »

NEW Information!

So in the interest of getting firm plans, I'm cementing this now.  We'll be discussing PureMVC (and any other frameworks you wanna talk about for Flex) at 6pm on October 8th.  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

See you there!  RSVP in the comments if you haven't already done so.

Thanks!

 

 

Hello everyone!

As I mentioned in the last meeting, we'll be having our next mini-meeting on Wednesday October 8th at 6pm!  Mini-meetings are small get togethers of like minded folks who want to bring their laptops and talk, show, and work.

We'll be jumping right into a hack night for our October 8 mini meeting.  A hack night is where we'll come together and explore one thing in a very thorough way.  And remember, any tutorials on Lynda.com is up for grabs, RDAUG has an account!

On this meeting we'll be exploring one of the following:

Flex Array collections

Exploring Frameworks like PureMVC or Cairingorm

Physics Frameworks for Flash

Bitmap tracing in Illustrator

(and we can of course meander off the subject based on our thoughts when we get there)

So I'm banking on beer or coffee - so my first suggestion is Champions Bars and More in Morrisville.  I've never been, but the photos look like we can combine tables and hang around, and there is free wi-fi.

The coffee suggestion is Hammocks coffee on TW Alexander Dr and Page Rd.  Again I've never been, but they also offer free wi-fi, and the photo on the website looks ok.

So, please comment below if you can come - and tell us where you'd like to go, and what you'd like to study.  Majority rules!  If you have a suggestion that's not listed above feel free to mention it!

Adobe's tagline says - "It's going to be brilliant" - well, we have 2 brilliant things for you on September 24th.

The first of course, is the launch of Adobe's Creative Suite 4 line of products.  This isn't a ship date, just a launch with many more details forthcoming on the launch date and details about the products for us all to get excited about.
