This is a <strong>Beginner</strong> topic for both Designers and Developers.</p> <p><strong>Building a Simple Dynamic Flash Application Using XML &amp; AS3</strong>, Wayne Lincoln<br /> Wayne will show tips and tricks for loading XML with AS3 to help keep your applications flexible and dynamic. He'll discuss writing some custom classes to help tie it all together. This is a <strong>Beginner to Intermediate</strong> topic for Developers.</p> <p>Thursday February 19th<br /> 6:30pm <br /> at New Perspective <br /> <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2949+smallman+st+pittsburgh+pa&amp;spn=0.021001,0.051533&amp;iwloc=A&amp;hl=en">google maps</a></p> <p><em>FYI: We'll be holding the meeting upstairs.

Much more details to come, but here's the basics:</p> <p>Pittsburgh web design day is a one-day, low-cost conference for web professionals in Western Pennsylvania. No high priced registration fees, no expensive travel, just a full day of learning from Pittsburgh web gurus ...and lunch!

It features hands-on workshops and a conference showcase for eight different creative toolkits -- programming languages made by artists, for artists.</p> <p>Just as true literacy in English means being able to write as well as read, true literacy in software demands not only knowing how to use commercial software tools, but how to create new software for oneself and for others. Recently, a number of projects dedicated to democratizing the education of computational thinking have coalesced. Emerging primarily from the arts sector, a set of new programming environments (and accompanying pedagogic techniques) have been developed to help artists, regular folks and other non-computer-scientists learn to make software. Using visual and musical expression as the "hook", thousands of people have not only learned to code using these new environments, but found new reasons to code in the first place. These toolkits &ndash; many of which are free, open-source initiatives &ndash; have made enormous inroads towards expanding the computational skills and interests of hundreds of thousands of creative people worldwide. You too can join this movement!</p> <p>More info here: <a href="http://artandcode.ning.com/">http://artandcode.ning.com</a>/</p> </p><p><b>Keywords</b></p><p> </p><p><b>File</b></p><p> </p> Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:29:01 GMT 2451
