This month’s topic comes a little late, but in an effort to take a break from Flex and focus back on the Web, I’ll be giving a presentation entitled “AJAX Explained”. I should have the primer posted by this weekend for this presentation. Additionally, Dave Reed will being doing a Community Case Study [...]

The code for the Flex code camp tonight is available in our SVN repository @ http://svn.adogo.us/200808/.  We will be referencing the LuncChooserAppAir for tonight’s meeting to show how easy it is to port a Flex application to AIR and make it dockable to the system tray/dock.  Don’t forget afterward we will be going out to [...]

We’re still working hard to find a dependable location for our meetings, but as a stop gap, Highwinds has graciously offered us to use their office as a meeting space; their office is located at 807 W Morse Blvd, Winter Park, FL 32789.  We will be starting at our regular time of 7:00 PM.

As you all know, DeVry has been unable to host our summer meetings due to renovations. After our July meeting at Valencia, we had a few potential locations for the August meeting, but were unable to confirm at that time.
We are pleased to report that we have secured a location for the August meeting (due [...]

Ok, so maybe I lied about a couple of weeks before I updated the code.  RatingsSlider.mxml has been updated to now include the dispatch of a the custom event to get the slider working.  It was a quick update, but hopefully it helps to show how custom components can interact with each other.  If anyone [...]

Thanks to everyone who turned out at our temporary location @ Valencia.  We had close to 30 people this meeting and we had one of our most in depth community case studies to date.  Max and Tommy showed off the Highwinds product, StrikeTracker.  The application showed off some great use cases for rich components including [...]

Thanks to everyone for their patience.  We’ve finished the sample code for the Code Camp for our July meeting and it is now available on our SVN server @ http://svn.adogo.us/200806/LunchChooserApp/.  We chose to just update the June code sample, so if you’ve checked it out previously, just run an SVN update on your working copy [...]

We’re pushing through to get the second rendition of our Lunch Chooser application ready for our July code camp.  We hope to show how to create custom components and events within Flex.  Look for an updated to the SVN repository on the blog over the next couple weeks.  We’ll try to give more time before [...]

If you’re thinking about coming down to the July meeting, please register on the eventbrite registration page. As usual this is just so we can have a good idea of how much food to provide. There’s no need to print anything out when you show up, just come on down and enjoy the event. Although [...]

July 1st’s session brings a second iteration of our popular in-group Flex coding camp, so bring your laptops and propellor hats and get ready to crank out some more MXML and AS3. We’ll also be continuing our community case study series with a demo of the StrikeTracker application under development by the Flex team at [...]
