This workshop is part of the overall Wellington Flash Platform Code Camp and will take place on the Friday before the code camp.

The course will be presented by Justin Mclean. Justin has managed his own consulting company Class Software for more than 10 years and has a long history with Adobe/Macromedia/Allaire products in particular ColdFusion (and still has the 3 floppies it originally came on). Justin is also a certified Adobe trainer for ColdFusion and Flex and runs regular training courses.

Please note: This is not a free event - you have to be registered (see link further below) to participate in this event. We provide lots of hardware and electronic parts...:)

A hands on course showing how to wire up basic electronic circuits, write code and debug the arduino open source hardware and software platform. The course teaches a basic understanding of electronics components, digital and anolog inputs and outputs and then moves on to add Flex into the mix. Students will wire up their own electronic circuits from basic switches and LEDs to circuits for detecting light, measuring temperature and controlling the colour of a RGB led from Flex.
