As usual, the London Flash Platform User Group event will be held on the last Thursday of the month; that’s this Thursday, October the 30th.

First up this month are the guys at Unit9, they’ll be taking you through their processes and how they keep everyone in the company communicating effectively for maximum result.

I will be following up with a presentation on Ruby on Rails and Flash; taking you through the steps needed to create a REST-ful Rails application that is read and writeable through a Flash Front end. This will give you an introduction to Ruby on Rails and how this powerful web application framework can make it ridiculously easy for you to kick-start your next, or first, database powered Flash application.

The LFPUG will be held at it’s usual location, Cosmobar on Clerkenwell Road (54-56) and the presentations start at 19:00. For more information on the sessions, and indeed on how to get there, see the official LFPUG site.

See you there!

August LFPUG Meeting

Posted: August 14th, 2006 | Author: Daniel | Filed under: User Groups | No Comments »

The next London Flash Platform User Group meeting is on the 24th of August.

This months topics are:

Building Killer Desktop RIAs: Adobe’s Next Generation Technology > This will be a primer on Apollo and the kind of things we will be able to create with it.

Flash, Video and Glue > This session concentrates on Flash Video and the types of video projects Glue London have been involved in.

Installation - Flower Powered CCTV > Erm…

Tink has booked Play till 2AM so it looks like this could be another late one.

You’ll need to sign up to be eligble for the fanny packs, so you’d better get there before the rush…

LFPUG Meeting: Localisation and AS3

Posted: July 27th, 2006 | Author: Daniel | Filed under: Actionscript, Flash, User Groups | No Comments »

Tonight I will once again be joining the rowdy pissed-up bunch at the London Flash Platform User Group where we will hopefully not be outstaying AKQA’s welcome with our random shouting, gibberish and general tomfoolery.

Dave will be talking about Flash localisation and Tink will be taking care of the Actionscript 3 goodness.

It looks like we’ll be streaming this one live over Flash Communication Server; a first for the LFPUG. You can catch the live stream at http://www.lfpug.com/live
