  • Ottawa Flash UG Presents: Nicholas Small from Cappuccino
    Entry posted Yesterday by Zee Yang in Blog public

    Come join us for another user group meetup on March 3. This time, we have invited a special speaker, Nicholas Small, from the Cappuccino team.

    Cappuccino is a new,  open source Rich Internet Application framework. It abstracts a lot of the gnarly details of HTML and JS, and provides a clean, consistent platform for rapid development. And yes, it will work on the iPlatforms, both as browser apps and native apps. 

    Nick is one of the key developers behind 280Slides, and a core contributor to the Cappuccino framework. We are very fortunate that Nick is here in Ottawa. He is going to give us a presentation on Cappuccino, and the upcoming Atlas product. It would be a great opportunity for Flash developers to check out the upcoming alternative platforms.

    As always, there will be beer. So grab a coworker and come join us.

    NOTE: this meetup is on Wednesday, March 3. NOT Tuesday.

    Title:
    UG Meeting on February 3
    Content:

    Hi all,

    Hope you enjoyed the holidays. Tristan moved to Toronto so I'll be managing the Ottawa Flash UG this year.

    Let's meet on February 3 (Wednesday). The theme will be "Cool Stuff You Learned During the Holidays".

    I usually use the holiday downtime to learn a few new things that I normally wouldn't have time for. This year I was playing with OpenPyro, so I can do a 20 min demo on that. If you have any cool, Flash related demo you can show, feel free to let us know.

    The location should be the Adobe room as usual, although I'm still waiting on the room booking confirmation. I'll post here as soon as the room is confirmed.

    If you need to reach me, my email is zee.yang@gmail.com, and my twitter is @zeeyang

    Cheers,

    Zee

  • New year... new group manager!

    Title:
    New year... new group manager!
    Content:

    Hey everyone! My apologies for the staleness of the group as of late. Have been trying to find somone to take over the group due to the fact that I took a job in Toronto.  Good news is, we found one!

    Most of you have heard of him, and have most likely met him, as he is an active member in the Ottawa community. Zee Yang will be taking over immediately and is looking to get an event organised in the early new year.

    Please join me in welcoming him. For me this only farewell, not good bye. I lived in Ottawa for over 15 years and out of everything, the developer community is one of the things I will miss the most. You can be I'll be out at the meetings when I'm back in town visiting.

    Take care,

    Tristan

  • Meeting.

    Meeting.
    Content:

    Hey guys. I've just moved here from British Columbia, and would love to meet some local Flexers. When I lived there I was a part of the FlashInVan meet-up group as well as the SeaFlex (Seattle Flex) users group. 

    I've noticed that the boards here are fairly stale, so I thought maybe a handful of people could get together on a weekend sometime in the near future. Let me know if you'd be interested and we can try to set something up.

    Title:
    What do you want me to present?
    Content:

    I asked Tristan to present at the next meet, and for that I would like that the members of the group decide what they want to hear.

    Here are the possible topics:

    • Introduction to Papervision - Create your first 3D application.
    • Introduction to Physics - Basic Physic concepts, how to use and implement them using a physics engine.
    • Designing with UML - Design a whole application without ever touching code.
    • Software Patterns and Data Structures in Flex - How to use these theories in day to day code.
    • BlazeDS with AS2 - How to get an AS2 project to communicate with BlazeDS.

    Please post your preference.

    Title:
    Possible Topics of Discussions
    Content:

    How about we start a thread so that everyone can chime in with what they think would be good topics of discussion at the next meet.

    Please list the topic and why do you think it should be talked about.

    I'll start the ball with a few:

    Developer Tools - Why are there so few tools to make development easier, like round trip engineering, proper UML and design tools, and better testing frameworks.

    Favorite IDEs - Which IDE do you use? why? what are the pros/cons and what could be improved?

    Interesting Flex Open Source Projects - Which ones interests you and why would you help?

  • Flash Camp Feedback 10
    Thread posted 03/05/09 by tristanroscoe in Discussion Area public
    Title:
    Flash Camp Feedback
    Content:

    Thought I'd start a quick thread and get everyone's feedback on Flash Camp.

    What did you think of it?
    If you went to the first Flex Camp, how did it compare to that one?
    Did it reflect what you asked for?
    What presentations did you like/dislike and why?

    You get the idea.
