Hawaiʻi's Technology Community

Flex for beginners

The talk on using FDT did not draw enough people and I had to cancel. so instead I am going to do this event myself, and getting started on promoting it. There is a good chance that this event will also be recorded, so it can be viewed over the internet!

I will be giving a talk on Flex for beginners in November for the Hawaii Flash User Group. If you are a member of the group, please RSVP for the event.

If you are not a member of the group, and would like to come to this free event, please leave a comment here, or over on the Adobe Groups site and you are also welcome to the event.

Any questions comments, please e-mail me.
I am also looking for advanced speakers on this event, so if interested in helping out with the talk please let me know.

Thank you,
John Barrett

Hey John - I'm new to Honolulu (from San Francisco), new to TechHui, and am a seasoned Flash designer and programmer (focusing on Flash since 1998). I would love to know more about the local Flash User Group, and this event. I actually do not yet have much experience with Flex, but I can talk about Flash and ActionScript in general.

Hi Micheal,
Great to hear from you!
I too moved here from San Francisco (Outer Sunset OB), lived there for a few years.

The Hawaii Flash User Group, started back in March of this year, and it meets once a month at the University of Hawaii. If you would like to join the group please go to:
Adobe Hawaii Flash User Group

This is the first Flex meeting, I am more of a flash/AS 3 guy personally, but I have been playing with Flex so I though that I would give flex a try, I hope that I will do well.

I would love to have you give a talk on flash in the near future if you would be interested, especially on flash design, I have not been able to find anybody to give a talk on design, but we add some actionscript 3 talks (mostly by me). In fact if you think that you can put something together next week, I could have you give a talk. I was planning to have the guys from FDT to give a remote talk, but I have not heard back from them, I love FDT, best actionscript editor (for flex I use Flex Builder), it rocks!

If you are new to Flex, this might be a good event for you, I am still looking for somebody much more advanced than I am, but for the scope of the event (aimed at newbies) I can pull it off.

Please e-mail if you have any questions about the group. I am also looking for somebody to help out with the group as a co-manager f that is something that you are interested in as well, let me know.

John
