San Diego Flash Users Group Recap
I checked out the SDFUG meeting last night over at the Veoh offices here in SD. Really great group of guys. Kyle Tyacke headed up the festivities. We saw a cool video from Kevin Lynch about AIR and also watched videos about Parleys, DigiMix, eBay Desktop and some other AIR apps. A free copy of Flex Builder 3 was raffled off. Everyone got some sweeet AIR t-shirts and some cool new AIR stickers. We watched a couple of 30onAIR videos and I met some twitter peeps in the real world.
Other items that the group discussed were:
MVC Architectures
Cairngorm
Here are some other very useful resources for learning Caringorm
David Tucker’s Cairngorm Series (with training videos!!)
Jeffry Houser’s Learning Cairngorm Series
Here are alternative MVC frameworks for ActionScript development.
PureMVC
EasyMVC
ActionScript Decompilers
Sothink SWF Decompiler
I forgot to mention Flare
Also, here is some info on an ActionScript 3.0 Decomplier
A few other items that were covered:
Sprouts (an open-source, cross-platform project generation and configuration tool for ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, Adobe AIR and Flex projects.)
Visual Flex Unit
Here is another GUI unit testing framework that might be of interest: RIATest
I am probably forgetting a couple things here as well….
One of the attendees demo’d a pretty cool AIR app that he put together for live audio mixing. I’ll try to get the link to his AIR app and post it soon.
I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for April yet but check the sdfug.org website for updates. At some point I am planning on doing a presentation on AIR. More on that later…
