No OzFlex December

Filed under: Cancellations — Wrote by matt.johnston on Thursday, December 4th, 2008 @ 8:22 pm

Unfortunately there will be no December meet- Loop had to change the date, and I am so busy with work as I finish up at my current job in a few weeks. January meeting is definitely going ahead- I will reveal details in 2-3 weeks. Hope you all have a great Christmas!

  • Open discussion regarding recent developments with Rich Internet Application technology
  • A Flex/AIR example showcase - this is where YOU get involved
    • Show us some of the work you have been working on, problems you have been having, or even if you have just found something you think is damn cool and want to share, this is your chance to show your wares!

  • Code Help - this is where if you’re having trouble grasping a specific problem with something you’re trying to do - let the group give you some ideas!

If you have something you would like to show it would be great if you could let me know before hand, but it is not imperative.

Thankyou + OzFlex Meeting Assets

Thankyou to all who turned out last night for the first OzFlex meeting! It was great to see some familiar faces as well as some new faces too

One of the items discussed was the Flex / Actionscript posters.. the details are below (Taken from Flex Team post):

[begin quote] If you’d like a set of the posters, here’s what you need to do: Register your copy of Flex Builder 3, Standard or Professional. Fill out the form, and then you’ll be forwarded to the poster request form.

If you’ve already registered your copy of Flex Builder 3 and didn’t request the posters, or if you received an error with the poster form before and can’t re-register your copy of Flex Builder 3, then you can head directly to the poster request form and request a set of posters be sent to you.

If you bought your copy of Flex Builder 3 online through the Adobe.com store, your copy of Flex Builder 3 is already registered automagically. You can head directly to the poster request form to request a set of posters be sent to you.

The posters are also available online in high quality PDF format (Warning! 97 MB zip file) if you prefer to print them yourself. [end quote]

The equivelant document in a “pocket” form PDF is called the Adobe Technology Platform RIA Guide and is available here (Thanks Charles for that link!)

I will be posting other assets relating to the night later on once I have gathered the relevant materials.

Once again thankyou to everyone, and I look forward to seeing you all in June!
