Entry posted on Jul 09 by mmugChicago , tagged Design,Development,Event,Interactive Experience,News

Riapalooza 3, the Midwest's premiere event on Rich Internet Application (RIA) development is drawing near. Don't delay because space is limited, and previous events have sold-out.

Make plans to join us Friday July 23rd for a full day of RIA goodness featuring presentations from some of the industry's very best. Riapalooza is your chance not only to see what is currently happening in the world of Rich Internet Application development, but to learn the trends and practices to help keep you on top of the game.

We are platform-agnostic, so no matter your development environment, you are guaranteed to walk away with nuggets of wisdom that will make you a better more effective professional. And because we will be showing various technologies it will provide you to the opportunity to see and evaluate some platforms you may not yet be using.

Reminder: Introducing The Box2D Physics Engine for AS3
Entry posted on Jan 18 by mmugChicago

Join us tonight 1/18 for an introduction to the ActionScript 3.0 port of the Box2D Physics engine. Box 2D allows developers to simulate gravity, inertia, collisions, and various simple machine behaviors in Flash.

Our guest presenter, Brian Busche will touch on a recent project he helped develop where this technique was used to create an engaging web site for a popular breakfast cereal. Examples will be provided that are intended to help programmers quickly understand the basics of Box2D. Non-programmers may find the examples easy enough to help them create very simple 2D Physics content in Flash.

Looking for an experienced Joomla programmer/developer.
Entry posted on Jan 09 by mmugChicago

Our current site (www.topcats.org <http://www.topcats.org> ) is using an old Joomla template. I have two new templates that I am considering using to update the website. They are compatible with the latest version of Joomla. The current template uses an older version of Joomla.
 
We will need to upgrade the website to the latest Joomla version and then upgrade to one of the new templates. Initially I want the same functionality as the current website and migrate all the current documentation over to the new environment. ‘Phase II’ will include adding additional functionality. 
 
We will need to set up a development environment on our hosting site (iPower) to do all the upgrades and then upload it to the production environment once it has been thoroughly tested.
 
Our first priority is the initial upgrades. However, I will be looking for ongoing ‘technical’ support as required and if the Top Cats board approves the additional functionality, further development work down the road. So, I am looking for a reliable and responsive person with whom the Top Cats can have a long term relationship with.
 
If you are interested, please email me with info on your Joomla background and sample sites if possible, at:wombat@dpdougherty.com
 
Thanks,
Dennis
