For those that haven’t seen/heard, Adobe had a quiet launch of Acrobat.com this last week. Very slick Flex interface and it looks like it might turn into a good alternative to Google Docs for document collaboration.

Adobe Open Screen Project
May 13th, 2008 Kyle
Just imagine being able to publish one swf file and have it run exactly the same in the browser, on your cell phone, and on a set top box connected to your TV. Now imagine if the restrictions on the swf and flv formats were gone. Now (bear with me here) imagine a consortium of hardware and software manufacturers coming together to make this into a reality! Ok, you can stop imagining now, go check it out!
Adobe publishing flash file format specification…
May 2nd, 2008 dwebb
For all those that haven’t heard the announcement yet, pretty exciting development taking place at Adobe (everyone in the group seems to be pretty close the info, but I’ll post it anyways). They just announced that they will be publishing the .swf and .flv/.f4v file format specifications. I think we can all use our imaginations about what kind of doors this opens for the format:

April Meeting
March 18th, 2008 Kyle
| April 2, 2008 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Our April meeting is just few weeks away, and I am pleased to announce that we will be having Chuck Freedman, Director of Developer Platform @ Ribbit as a guest speaker! For those of you that haven’t heard of Ribbit, they have built a platform that allows you to bring telephony connectivity to your RIA’s. You can read more on their site at http://www.ribbit.com or sign up for a developer account and start playing now at http://developer.ribbit.com
An broad outline of Chucks Presentation:
- How to easily make and receive phone calls from Flex and AIR with Ribbit
- Other features of the API like messaging and contacts
- Cool example applications built with Ribbit
- Creating and sharing Ribbit projects
- Opportunities coding with Ribbit
- Sneak peak at the Ribbit Flash CS3 Component set
As if that wasn’t exciting enough, I am also very happy to announce that Veoh has moved to our new offices, and we will have a much larger, more comfortable space for our next meeting! The plan is to give Chuck as much time as he needs to present, and allow time for general discussion/QA, then just open it up and let the meeting head where it may! As always, email me at kyle@sdfug.org if you have any questions.
New Meeting Location: Veoh Networks
10180 Telesis Court, 4th Floor
San Diego, CA 92121
There’s plenty of parking out front, then just take the elevators to the 4 floor. Once you get off the elevators, I’ll have signs posted with arrows directing you towards the meeting space.
Refresh San Diego
February 9th, 2008 Sean
For anyone who may be interested in meeting other designers, developers and Web 2.0 entrepreneurs in the San Diego community, come join me on Tuesday, February 12 at the next Refresh San Diego meeting. This month’s meeting will be at the Digital Telepathy offices on 5th Ave. Refresh is less about just programming for the web and more focused on design, usability, marketing, SEO and so forth. It’s a great way to expand your horizons if you typically work as just a developer. For more information and directions, be sure to check the Refresh SD website.

As you may have heard, Adobe has announced the release of Adobe Flex 3 and Adobe AIR 1.0. Now that the cat is out of the bag, this will be the focus of our March 5th special meeting! Adobe is sponsoring this meeting with food, giveaways and a raffle copy of Adobe Flex Professional.
Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.
Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, delivering rich applications on the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write RIAs on the desktop using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see and hear about this highly anticipated release of Flex 3 and AIR at this meeting.
Who: You and everyone else you know! If we get over 50 Attendees we will be raffling off a copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium, so bring some friends!
What: See above!
When: Monday, February 25, 2008 from 7-9PM
Where: Veoh Networks
7220 Trade St. Suite 115
San Diego, CA 92121

Meeting one complete!
December 6th, 2007 Kyle
Thanks to all of you who attended our first meeting tonight. If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to sign up for our google group so we can keep you updated on future meetings and events. Also, please feel free to send us your thoughts and ideas for future meetings (what you’d like to discuss, if you’d like to present something, general thoughts or critiques on the meeting, etc.) We’re still trying to get the hang of this thing so any input is greatly appreciated. And spread the word! This group can’t function without all of you, so please pass the word on to your friends/fellow geeks, or random strangers on the street. Our goal is to have your next meeting on the first Wednesday of January, so keep posted for the topics listing and dates in the next few weeks. Thanks again!
Flash Develop
Flash Develop is my personal Actionscript editor of choice. It offers some great code hinting, as well as a lot of great customization options. It is only available for PC at this time and it’s free, so go check it out!
Kirupa.com
Has some very helpful tutorials, as well as a forum dedicated to the transition from Actionscript 2.0 to Actionscript 3.0
gotoandlearn.com
Contains some helpful video tutorials put together by Lee Brimelow. By far one of my favorite presenters, and in general an all around good guy!
