Cairngorm, Flex and Flash Seminar

Here in Australia we run a monthly seminar series where someone from the community presents on a Macromedia server related topic over a Breeze live session

This month we have Robin Hilliard of Rocketboots presenting

Building Real RIAs with Cairngorm, Flex and Flash

I'm expecting a good turn out, in November we had Geoff Bowers of Daemon talk about FarCry which ended up running for 3hrs! with at least 70 people of the breezo.

If you're interested the URL is http://www.macromedia.com/go/anzcommunity/

It starts @ 3pm AEST tomorrow Friday the 28th of January.  They always occur @ 3pm on the last Friday of every month, next month we have Tim Buntel, the CFMX product manager talking about something exciting happening in the ColdFusion world, can't think what mind ;)

Hope to see you on the breezo ...

Server Community Seminar Series

It's great to see MacroChats back as a permanent fixture, but I wanted to remind people in the Australia & New Zealand region about the Server Community Seminar Series that takes place in their timezone often with local presenters.

These started back in October last year and have been a great success

I finally have got round to putting up a landing page which includes links to recordings of the last two seminars

You can get there through this link http://www.macromedia.com/go/anzcommunity/

The next seminar takes place on January 28th 2005.  We have Robin Hilliard of Rocketboots on the following topic.

Building Real RIAs with Cairngorm, Flex and Flash

So you've seen the Flex Explorer examples and perhaps built a simple Flex application - where to next? Robin will introduce you to the Cairngorm framework created by iteration::two, authors of Real World Flash J2EE Integration and Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex. Cairngorm makes it a lot easier to design and build RIAs in Flex, and surprisingly is just as applicable to Flash. Cairngorm is currently a hot topic on the Flexcoders list.

Robin and the RocketBoots team have worked with their client development teams on real world RIAs using Cairngorm in Flex and Flash, with Java/XML, ColdFusion and Flash Communication Server back-ends.

In Feburary we've lined up Tim Buntel, the product manager for ColdFusion to talk about some exicting stuff, but I'll let you figure out the exact topic.

Finally I'm always keen to hearing from people interested in presenting, so drop me a note if you are interested.
