The Silicon Valley Flex User Group is hosting its meeting this week at Adobe Systems in San Francisco (601 Townsend) on July 17 from 6:00-9:30PM. If you have not attended a SILVAFUG meeting I would like to encourage you to join us this week. We got a much larger space for the user group and it should be a great evening learning the frameworks of Flex, Cairngorm and PureMVC. Here are the details:

When:
Thursday, July 17th 2008
Free Flex Training - 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
Pizza - 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Silvafug Meeting - 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm

Where:
Adobe Systems Incorporated
Town Hall
601 Townsend Street
San Francisco, CA 94103

Meeting Presentation: The ABCs of PureMVC
Presenter: Keith Sutton

PureMVC is a lightweight framework for creating applications based upon the classic Model-View-Controller design meta-pattern. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the MVC design pattern and the PureMVC (www.puremvc.org) implementation and then walk through how to use it to build a basic/foundation application. This presentation will also examine the use of Flex Visual Graph Library as a component employed within an PureMVC based application.

Free Flex Training Topic: Beginning Cairngorm

This will be a quick overview into the various parts of the Cairngorm framework. We will create a small Cairngorm application during the session. This app is the same one from my article on Devnet: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/graduating_pt3.html

RSVP for each session separately by sending an email to fugrsvp@gmail.com.

I am going to get many of the Flex team to hand around for the meeting so the croud will be extra special for this SILVAFUG meeting.

See you next Thursday!

Ted :)

do you think to extend this kind of courses in other countries also?

I believe that all SILVAFUG meetings are broadcast over connect. I will ask Tom on the details.

The evening presentation is all part of the SILVAFUG Adobe User Group. Tom Ortega and the group put together the training on Cairngorm and the presentation on PureMVC.

I would certainly like to see these presentations be available to a much larger audience.

Ted :)

Also, at the http://silvafug.org site, there are other past recorded trainings. The first batch is a bit rough, but I'd like to think they're improving with time. :)

Is there a recording of the meeting?

Thanks

Will the materials about PureMVC and Cairngorm be available on the site sometime soon?

I'm currently investigating the two and trying to decide which path to go down.
