Tiago's Weblog Code & Technology Aficionado – Come for the Flash, stay for more!

29. SFUG Usergroup Meeting

The next SFUG (Swiss Flash User Group) takes place on the 17th of November 2009 with 2 interesting topics. As usual the first topic will be technology driven while the second is showcase directed.

Topic 1: Showcase: "Lernfragen 2.0"  (Michel Wacker / Liip AG)

The "Lernfragen 2.0" aka the "Frageplayer" project is a Flash presentation layer for the open source Learn Management System Moodle developed to bring a more visual learning experience to the user.

The aim of this rather complex Flex project was to seperate code as much as possible from design profiting from Interfaces and Flex modules. This approach allows using the same logical core for multiple projects that could be skinned very independently from a designer.

Topic 2: State of Mobile in the Adobe Ecosystem (Weyert De Boer, nothing)

In October some exciting new mobile products and news has been shared with the world during the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles. Such as, the availability of Flash Player 10.1 for mobile devices, on devices like the Palm Pre, Android and Symbian. And the impressive upcoming feature for Flash CS5 that allows you to build native iPhone apps by leveraging the Flash platform engine. Also information has been shared about Flex for mobile and AIR for mobile.

In this session, we dive into the depth of what Flash has to offer on mobile platforms today and in the near future. Weyert will show tips and tricks about how to optimize Flash content for mobile devices and cover questions like what are the exciting changes in the Flash Player 10.1 compared to Flash Lite 3.1? At the end we will raffle a copy of FriendOfED's latest Flash mobile book AdvancED Flash on Devices.
