L.A. Flash, Talk like a pirate day
Last Wednesday was the L.A.Flash user group meeting. I had the opportunity to join the meeting which is held in our office. The first talk was from Joshua Davis about his HYPE framework.Joshua Davis is an internationally-renowned artist, and Flash industry leader. Joshua Davis held a short discussion of the HYPE AS3 framework to help designers create unique interactive and animated compositions. He spoke from New York over Adobe Connect to us but will join us here in L.A at the LAFlashapaloozastock IV. If your interested check out the the talk on youtube. The second talk was from Leslie Wintner about the new Motion Tweens in Flash CS4 and the last talk of the night was from Iman Khabazian about Flash Team Tools like Catalyst, Flex, Subversion, Debugger and stuff like that.
Last Saturday was “Talk like a pirate day”. I passed the Irish pub on the way home from the beach. Some pirates asked me to join the party. It was really good fun and I meet a few very friendly people. I really enjoyed it and I hope I can meet some of them again.
On Sunday I took a bike ride to Santa Monica. At the end of the 4th street I could enjoy a good view to the beach and the surroundings. There are famous stairs there. I was quite amazed how many people were running up and down.
Lesson 5: You don’t need a gym to do sport. Stairs will do the job too. :)
New Technical stuff I learned
The last couple of days I tried to get into pureMVC and AMFPHP. Both Frameworks are really helpful. I hope I will be able to show pretty soon a first prototype of a current project. I will explain more as soon as I can.
