SeattleFUG Project: Extending the Code Jam Project

Last thursday a bunch of members of the User Group gathered around and decided that a good way to learn about new tech was to just do it, and considering that I am associated with a project that is very close to 1.0, and has set goals for 2.0, we decided to work on the ResourceLocator that was developed at the San Jose 2008 Flex 360 Charity Code Jam.

So, the code isn’t there yet, we’re waiting for 1.0, which should be finished in the next couple weeks. But I’ve invited all of the members that want to participate to take a look at the code, and if they get really excited about it, they can even contribute and fix one of the bugs that are still outstanding. This invitation is NOT restricted to my user group members, anyone can join, just contact me (dusty (dot) jewett -at- gmail (dot) com).

One thing I promised the members was a bit of guidance, so I’m linking to Laura’s Flex 360 talk about Mate. Unfortunately, the talk on Degrafa hasn’t been posted yet, but there are plenty of examples on the site.  AMFPHP has been around for a long while, but I’ve enjoyed Sephiroth’s tutorials. I’ll be explaining specific things in our user group meeting on the 13th, and while we don’t have the cool setup that Flex360 did, I should be able to come up with some sort of recording of it.
