To all of the subscribers of our mailing lists, our members, board and
sponsors and friends, ACFUG would like to extend a very Happy New Year to
you for being a part of our community!
Last night, ACFUG started off the New Year off in an exciting way. We had a
great showing of people that included old friends and some new faces (Eric
Gutke, Tony Terrana, Todd Tabberer, Sarah Chodrow). Thank you everyone for
taking the time to come and be a part of the ACFUG experience. The January
meeting introduced several fresh ideas to the group.
The new location was a collaboration of FusionLink and echo•eleven to
provide a comfortable meeting location. Thank you John Mason of FusionLink
for providing the meeting facilities and Scott Talsman of echo•eleven for
extending hospitality to our members mingling in the echo•eleven facilities.
New Atlanta of the BlueDragon fame provided a grand prize this past meeting
with a free license of BlueDragon 6.2 JX server. Congratulations to Teddy
Payne for winning! ACFUG extends a special thank you to Josh Adams and
Richard Baker from New Atlanta for taking the time to help make our first
meeting of the year more enjoyable and helping our group learn about the new
features of BlueDragon 7. New Atlanta did not stop there as they sponsored
the after party that compromised of adult beverages and snacks.
Andy Powell of Universal Mind demonstrated yet another way that ColdFusion
can be used in an AJAX based project from Adobe called Spry. Many of our
members have heard of AJAX and Spry in recent days, but an actual testament
of the usefulness of Spry reinforces a way to discern how and when to use
Spry.
The new user group, *Atlanta Flash Flex User* group (AFFUG) that will be
meeting on the third Wednesday of each month. The topics covered 1/17/07
will be…
Taming the Flex Wizard Shrew
Jump into Flex with this tutorial on how to use the Flex wizards. Start
using Flex and appreciating the power of Flex by using the Flex wizard to
quickly and simply create rich interfaces. This tutorial will also go over
what is happening during the wizard creation so that you can learn even more
about good Flex code. Let's start creating mountains from a mole hill of
work.
Introduction to Flex Charting
How do I populate a Flex chart component with data? What type of data can be
used?If you have asked these questions before, this session will not only
answer these questions, but provide working examples demonstrating how to
use hard coded data, XML and ColdFusion returned queries.
Flex Drag and Drop with ColdFusion
How can Flex make your interface more user friendly? Drag and Drop. We will
be discussing how to dynamically create drag-able elements in your Flex
application and how to save the changes of the dragged elements into a
database using ColdFusion. There are several ways to achieve drag and drop
functionality, so we will be demonstrating different ways to help you decide
which is best for you.
More information about AFFUG is available at www.affug.org .
In ACFUG's continued desire to make member experiences pleasant, we ask that
you please RSVP for the meetings as we want to make sure that we have enough
food and beverage for all of those who attend. You can RSVP at any time at
www.acfug.org.
Thank you once again for starting the New Year with us!
