Flash

James Ward and Christophe Coenraets are in Tampa this week working with me on some big plans for 2010 and we thought it would be great to put together an informal event for the local Tampa bay developer community:

When: Thursday, Jan 21 6:30pm-8:30pm
Location: Taverna Opa Tampa - Channelside - next to Splitsville - http://tavernaopatampa.com/info.html
Map: http://bit.ly/5kF4aR (Google Maps)

No slides and no presentations - just informal chat/Q&A

IMPORTANT PART –> Beer is on James, Christophe and me for the first hour! How can you resist now?!

Between the 3 of us and some of our local friends, we can answer questions on a wide variety of topics:

• General questions about Flex, AIR, LiveCycle Data Services, BlazeDS, ColdFusion and more
• Connecting applications built on the flash platform (Flex, AIR, etc.) to backend systems such as .NET, Java, PHP, ColdFusion, etc.
• What’s new in LiveCycle data services 3.0
• What’s new in ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion Builder
• What’s coming in Flex 4, AIR 2.0 and Flash Player 10.1
• Everything you wanted to know about Augmented Reality
• How to compute the volume of a cone and other mathematical puzzles (just making sure you are still reading )
• What’s the deal with the announcement last October about Flash and iPhone?

Bring your developer friends!

Thanks!

The folks at Universal Mind are putting together the next Flash Camp and it’s going to be in Orlando!  Registration is discounted for the next 28 hours.  Go to http://www.flashcamporlando.com/ for more details and to sign up.

We’re working on a killer speaker and topic list. Our last Tampa meeting had over 60 attendees.  I’m hoping most of you can join us in Orlando.  It’s an all-day flash/flex/AIR fest

The inaugural meeting of the Tampa Flash, Flex and AIR Developers Group will be held on October 7th, 2008 at 7pm at the Art Institutes of Tampa. The Art Institutes of Tampa is located at 4401 N. Himes Avenue, Tampa, Florida.

Greg Wilson, Sr. Technical Evangelist for Adobe, will present “Adobe Flash, Flex and AIR - What, Where and Why” and answer questions from attendees. Greg will also give several short demos highlighting some of Adobe’s latest innovations.  This will be a high level talk appropriate to developers currently working with Adobe technologies, those that are working in competing technologies, and business managers with application and new media development responsibilities.

The International Culinary Schools at The Art Institutes will serve hors d’oeuvres. There is no cost to attend, but an RSVP is requested to rsvp@tffadg.com. For more information, please visit tffadg.com or follow us on twitter @tffadg.
