Sydney Flash User Group – Last meeting of 2007

December 3rd, 2007

I just got back from the Sydney Flash User Group that was held at the Rocketboots office at Kent street.

According to the program we were going to view: Cairngorm 2.2 framework with Flex 3 and AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime – formerly known as Apollo). We’ll be building a small/simple application to demonstrate the use of the Cairngorm 2.2 framework with Flex 3 beta and AIR Beta.

Due to time constraints, we didn’t finish the AIR integration and we all managed to debug Chris’ cairngorm timer.
We also talked a little about Singletons. Here is the link I mentioned about Grant Skinners AS3 implementation.

After that we had a “conference/presentation” by Grant Straker, that showed how to build quick applications using Zoom Flex
It was interesting to see the admin interface actually be targeted to developers, and how you generate your objects and classes by using regular forms. It also spits out all the source code of the flex app. I will definitely give it a try.

Then the lucky winner of the Adobe Software package was Robert. Congratulations mate!

Looking forward to having more meetings. Looks like then next one will be in February and the guys from infomedia might be showing us some of their flex stuff.

Here is a 16 second video that I took while Grant was presenting ShadoCMS:
