FlashCamp San Francisco, April 16th, Tickets going fast!

March 11th, 2010 Chris Griffith

FlashCamp San Francisco is a free one night event hosted by Adobe covering everything you need to know about about the latest Flash Platform tools and technologies, including Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Flash CS5, Adobe Flash Builder 4 and mobile design and development.

I was at the last FlashCamp in San Francisco and it was a great event. It is an awesome way to talk directly to the folks who make the platform and tools that we all use. They usually have lots of goodies to had out, so if you can’t afford attending MAX, a cheap flight to San Francisco might be in order. I got my ticket, get yours before they are gone.

December Meeting

November 27th, 2009 Chris Griffith

Come join us this Wednesday, our topic will be on the new WorkflowLab project, developed in part by our own James Polanco. WorkflowLab is a new AIR application that provides an easy way to learn about and share workflow best practices. It provides designers, developers and project managers with a common way to share information on specific project types including tasks, applications and instructions. The application includes a number of workflow starting points and enables users to easily share additional workflows. WorkflowLab is currently in development and an Alpha build is available for download. Rumor has it that other members of the team might be attending, including Doug Winnie.

In addition, we will have several software giveaways, so you better make plans to attend.

When: December 2nd, 6pm

Where: Art Institute San Diego, South Building
