August ‘08 Meeting: How to program with ActionScript 3 with Ron Haberle

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

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.

Presenter:
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.

Special Meeting 11/10/08: How To Architect Flex Applications with Joey Lott

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

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.

Presenter:
