The first NZ Flex User Group - I was there!
Just got back in from the first New Zealand Flex User Group meeting.
It was very good.
Campbell fronted the meeting, and Andrew Spaulding showed us how to gererate a PDF from Flex2 using "Life Cycle data services" (service formally known as "Flex Data Services") via Java. Pretty kool He showed off some other CS3 stuff too, how you can go directly from of products in the CS3 directly in to MXML. He told us Fireworks does this, but didn't have time to Demo it (...but I believe him!)
After that the our hosts getoutsmart.com (one of the world's top 3 Flex Shops ya know! )showed off their 3D, virtual chat room. This consisted of a round 3D room with a small character walking round in it, with Flex Components on the wall that could be interacted with, and a video control too. Again, very kool.
I enjoyed talking to Darren from getoutsmart.com about his thoughts and goals in Flex2/ the on-line world.
The Flex group looks like it is going to be a great place for me to learn and be inspired to learn!
Campbell ran me home after the meeting, so it was good to talk more about the bright future this group has!
Thanks Campbell, Kai and Ross!
Cheers,
Spaulds
