      Title:
      What topics would you like for next year, and other things.
      Content:

      So it's a new year soon enough. I know you'd like to see more about Flex, and Flash Catalyst (formally Thermo) and some CSS. What I am interested to know if it's OK to see meetings via Connect online? Here in the midwest I can't always get certain presenters for a meeting, but I can alwas get them remotely with Connect.

      I'd also love some specifics on meeting topics. Flex, but beginner Flex? Beginner OOP? Did you like the Grow your own developer night? Would you like to see more hands-on sessions? I'd like to know more. Tell me. :)

    • Definitely more hands-on sessions. I think the Coldfusion one was really good. I'd like to see more stuff on semantic markup and good web front-end practices. And how to apply them when working with dynamic content and complex sites. We could do some sessions on AJAX and the current state of javascript libraries like jQuery, Mootools, etc. Maybe a session on wireframes and using Fireworks/Photoshop/Flash for quick and dirty usability testing. I suppose I'm talking more nuts and bolts kind of stuff.

    • More hands-on like the Coldfusion and Dreamweaver database sessions would be great. The via Connect have been good, too. I learn from and am interested in everything, so ... yes to CSS, Flash, Flex, Air, OOP, Coldfusion .... I'm just beginning with Web apps, but can learn something from more advanced sessions, too.

    • is Search Engine Optimization a possibility?

    • Fireworks Vs. Photoshop Demo where it is shown what fireworks is best for and what PS is best for. I mainly know photoshop but would love to see fireworks at its full potential.

    • KCDesignCore, I am doing a hands-on Fireworks meeting. In the meantime read my post about that subject on my blog. http://macwebdiva.wordpress.com/2008/12/27/web-design-photoshop-vs-fireworks-no-contest/

    • I'd like to see how to make slick Flash components for Flex -- I'm a Flash guy and work with a Flex guy, but right now we're "not talking".

    • I hear you. I'll see what I can do.

    • Dee:

      I'd like to see some projects that involve a Flex4 FrontEnd and the new Eclipse-based CFusion backEnd. Or, a project involving a Flex4 front with a Wamp backEnd. 

      I'd also like to see some how Flash CS3 custom components can be implemeted in Flex 4 using the Eclipse-based CFusion. 

      I'd also like to see some text-layout projects involving Flex 4.
