Getting started with FlashBuilder 4 and PHP Web Services

March 8th, 2010 Kyle

I ran across a very simple tutorial that quickly shows how to create a php webservice using Flashbuilder 4 as well as some of the new features such as two-way data binding and auto-generation of event-handlers.. I’d avoid a lot of these features in production code; however, for testing, prototyping, and general learning they are pretty damn cool and make throwing together a quick, database-driven app very fast!

Congrats to one of our own!

January 19th, 2010 Chris Griffith

You may not be aware but one of our user group members (and user group manager as well). Demian Borba has been honored as an Adobe Community Professional (formerly Adobe Community Experts). Way to go!!!

Most recently he organized the very successful FlashCamp Brazil. Here is a tweet from @ddura:

Big shout out to @demianborba for putting on one of the best Flash events I have ever been to. Can’t wait for next year! #flashcampbrasil

I am sure we will get a great recap of the event at an upcoming SDFUG meeting.

WorkflowLabIn case you missed the announcement a few days ago, WorkflowLab BETA has been released! We had a chance to see some of the new features two meetings ago during Doug Winnie’s visit, so now you can try the new features out for yourself. Rather than list out all the cool things the team has done, you can read about it on Doug’s blog.

In case you did not know, one of our regular and active members, James Polanco, is part of the development team. Congrats to the team in reaching this milestone!

Thanks for attending and survey request

December 8th, 2009 Chris Griffith

Thanks to everyone who came out to last week’s meeting. Learning about the design and development process behind Workflow Lab was enlightening and Doug Winnie’s sneaks of CS5 were awesome!! I can’t wait to get my hands on CS5 when it ships (when was that again Doug?).

Congratulations to our two software winners:
Greg Neumayer won a copy of a Adobe Creative Suite and Billy Roberson won a copy of Flex Builder 3 Professional.

Please take a moment and complete our short survey about the group. Kyle and I are trying to plan out next year’s meeting topics and feedback from you will greatly help! The url is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JJ7R992

Hope you and your family have a great holiday season! See you all in 2010!

Chris & Kyle
