Come and Drop by for a casual and friendly get-together. We are arranging another AIR/Flex/Rails workshop event on Wednesday March 19th. We’ve invited a few people to discuss their insights working with these technologies. Peter Armstrong will join us and talk about his new book “Flexible Rails”. Flexible Rails is the term Peter uses to describe the integration of Adobe Flex with Ruby on Rails as the back-end. Flex supports building powerful graphic user interfaces while Rails simplifies database integration.
Atul Nagpal, an AIR presenter in the last event, will be joining us again to talk about his fascination with Adobe AIR and Flex. He will be showing some of his application that he’s developed using AIR. Finally Rastin Mehr and I will be doing a comparison between Ruby on Rails and the new MVC Architecture in the Joomla! 1.5 Content Management System.
This is a small get together not a classroom. You don’t have to be a Ruby, AIR or Joomla expert to enjoy this event. Our goals is to get together and learn something new in a friendly environment.
If you have made an application and would like to demonstrate to others, let us know we will post it on the blog and we can discuss it at the event.
We will be providing coffee and doughnuts and going to the Steamworks for a round of beer afterwards. Read more…
