Flex Stuff: AFFUG Meeting Tonight, Free Training, and the Cookbook

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 10:27:00 -0400

One post, three good subjects!

Tonight's AFFUG Meeting

I am honestly very excited about tonight's Atlanta Flash and Flex User Group meeting featuring John Mason presenting Unit Testing and Test Driven Development (TDD) for Flex & ActionScript 3.0. It happens to be coinciding with my frustrating efforts of getting some unit testing implemented at Roundbox Global. I hope that John is ready for all my crazy questions, 'cause I have quite a few.

Free Flex Training

Yeah, that's what I said it! Thirty days of free access to 17 hours of online Flex training from Total Training. Click the link, fill out the form, enter the code (it is on that page). It's that simple. Just remember, your first one is free...

Add Content to the Flex Cookbook

O'Reilly is calling you out!

Are you doing any development work (including skinning and UI design)
with Adobe Flex? Here's your chance to be a contributor to an Adobe
Developer Library book to be published in 2008, Flex 3 Cookbook.
Adobe's got a terrific site for Flex developers of any stripe to show
their best stuff, and O'Reilly and Adobe are partnering on a book that
will include some of the best contributions from the site. Each
contribution uses the classic O'Reilly cookbook
"Problem/Solution/Explanation" format; if you've got strong material to
show the rest of the world, it couldn't be easier to write up your
material in the online fields, and join the cookbook party. Flex
developers are in very short supply in an exploding market, so here's
your chance to show your stuff to the rest of the community!

What?!? You mean you didn't know about the Flex Cookbook Beta?!? Just remember that this is a problem and solution site — you have to have both to post.

Training: Upcoming Training Opportunities For Flash and Flex!

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:33:00 -0400
