Meeting Summary

Are you confused with the new event model in AS3? Are you looking for ways to make your code more flexible and easier to read? Do you struggle with controlling the flow of your apps?

Come out and learn some basic techniques for building event driven applications in Flex. See event driven architecture put into action to control state and flow of your applications. You will see several different events from the “mx.events” package in action, as well as “custom” events created for special needs. See how to implement your own event classes to decouple parts of your application.

The demo and code samples for this presentation will cover mostly event handling, but will also touch upon basic uses of “mx:states” and “mx:transitions”.

Ron Haberle, Senior Software Developer at iMemories

Co-Presenter:
Bob Wohl, Senior Flasher Developer at LimeLight Networks

Meet us at UAT (http://www.gotoandstop.org/index.php/meeting-directions/) from 7:30 to 7:55 in time for seating and networking.

Giveaways will include the follow O’Reilly sponsored books (subject to change):

• ActionScript 3.0 Cook
• Programming Flex 3
• Learning ActionScript 3

So, Joey had an emergency. It is out of his control and ours so he had to cancel. I know…sucks but there are more important things he had to handle. Wish him best if you know him.

The meeting is still on. What we’ll do is just turn it into a showcase meeting. Everyone gets 5 to 10 minutes (pending how many involved) to showcase a product or project.

We are still going to give away the free CS4 Suite. Come out and get it!

Hopefully you guys still come out and enjoy yourself. Please spread the word.

It’s Going To Be Brilliant.

Be one of the first to see the next big thing from Adobe on 9/24/2008 @ 6:45 PM. Join in to see and hear first hand how something very special will help you get to brilliant faster. Save the date and get a good look at what’s to come.

Meet us at UAT (http://www.gotoandstop.org/index.php/meeting-directions/) from 6:30 to 6:45 in time for seating and networking.

Do you wonder what private, public, and protected mean? Do you struggle with Class and Interface? Are you confused or intimedated by the ActionScript 3 API Documentation? If so, you should come out for our next meeting.

Our next meeting will be a first of many, specifically designed to help teach our local community how to program with ActionScript 3.

Preso Description:
Come out and start learning ActionScript 3. These “learning sessions” will be conducted in an open fashion, so your presence and questions can shape the topics of conversation. The first meeting will focus on syntax, basic language structure, and tips on learning the language. We will cover the new display model and the new event handling mechanisms.

Meet us at UAT (http://www.gotoandstop.org/index.php/meeting-directions/) from 7:30 to 7:55 in time for seating and networking.

We have the great opportunity to hear from Joey Lott on November 10, 2008 @ 8 PM. This will be our last meeting of the year due to the holidays and isn’t on our normal meeting date because of Joey’s travel plans. He’ll be in Tucson on the 10th presenting earlier that day and will make it here at 8 PM to speak.

Preso Description:
When building Flex applications the whole is greater than the sum of
its parts. You may know how to work with the pieces of Flex (layout,
styling components, data components, etc.) but it’s still rather easy
to get tangled up and frustrated when trying to stitch the piece
together into a coherent application. In this presentation we’ll look
at strategies you can use to build Flex applications in the best way
possible. Rather than presenting one boiler plate solution as the
“right way” this presentation looks at the bigger picture and common
patterns you can employ.

SEE YOU THERE!

Also, I’ll be speaking for the CFUG: http://www.johncblandii.com/2008/05/528-preso-for-azcfug-cf8-net-i.html.

The first meeting of 2008 is going to be a SWEET one! Not only are we giving away some sweet schwag but we will have Adobe in the house showing off the latest and greatest Flex/AIR sweetness.

So, here are the details. We WILL NOT meet on our normally scheduled day. We WILL meet one day earlier: January 22, 2008 @ 7:00. At 6:30 we will have an initial meet/greet/geek session so come out early and enjoy some snacks and networking. The actual preso will begin promptly at 7.

Now…the schwag. We are giving away 1 free copy of Flex Professional and CS3 Web Premium. We will also have Flex branded schwag (not saying what type but most will probably want one…or two) and…{drum roll}…an iPod Nano!

This will be a fun meeting to kick off 2008. We will be officially joined with the Phoenix Flex User Group and Phoenix Adobe User Group for this meeting as well so there will be a good mix of individuals to mingle with.

To all those wondering if they should come…STAND UP AND BE ACCOUNTED FOR SOLDIER!

I’m excited! See you there.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention Flex.org/tour has more information on the tour in general. We will be joined by Kevin Hoyt.

Tomorrow at 6:30 I will be presenting on Adobe AIR. I’ll attempt to cover as many questions/requests as possible and will try to code anything I’m asked within the set time period.

The main things to be covered are:

1) File API

2) SQLite Access

3) Window API

NOTE: This WILL NOT be presented via Adobe Connect. This is more of a let’s kick back and geek out on some Adobe AIR type of meeting. Online would seriously be missing out of the interaction aspect. Don’t worry though…this is an official meeting and not a 100% social event. It just won’t be a “sit there and watch/listen to me” but more of a “sit there and watch/listen to me AND ask/interact the whole way through” type of meeting.

AZCFUG will be joining us so we should be able to have a good number of people show.

Come join us!
