Silvafug

I forgot to blog this meeting in advance - sorry! - but I was planning to write a report of it and saw that Tariq Ahmed beat me to it! It was a very interesting meeting. Charles Freedman's presentation on Yahoo!'s Flash Maps API was great and stories of the Yahoo! Hack Day made it sound like a wild geekfest. I was stunned and very pleased to hear eBay are offering free introductory Flex training to Silvafug members - something I shall be taking advantage of next month! My main reason for attending Silvafug is to learn about Flex since I haven't had a chance to use it yet and I think it's very cool technology. Ages ago I took an introductory Flex 1.5 course and was impressed at being able to create applications so quickly - but I never had a chance to use Flex 1.5 subsequently. I think if I learn Flex 2, I will actually find some very useful things I can build with it. I would have used it on my current project if I'd known how!

    I didn't see you at the meeting but I showed up about 30 minutes late. Do you look different then your picture?

    Flex is rad. It is definitely worth your time to learn it. Especially since they made it work so well with CF.

    @Kelly, yeah, my hair is a (bit) longer and right now I have a full beard. But I change my appearance a lot :)
