The next Midlands Flash Platform User Group meeting is tomorrow, at Warwick University, Ramphal Building room R.0.21. Hopefully it’ll be a good one as I’m helping organise it and we intend to run more over this end of the Midlands in future, possibly in September and November. I’m going to demo some of the apps we’ve built with the marvellous people in the web-dev team at Warwick University during my secondment there, including our AIR Media Converter Client, the Files.Warwick Desktop Client, a nice combination of MySQL, BlazeDS, Lucene, Spring, Flex 3.0 and Cairngorm by Rob O’Toole and maybe if I get time, our media recording applications in Sitebuilder, the University’s CMS.

Flash Camp Birmingham yesterday was a great success. From my point of view, every session was interesting and informative, and I learnt a great deal more about Flex 4, PureMVC, Degrafa, the Spark component architecture, FXG, Flash Catalyst, Away3D, mobile UI design and much more. Now all I have to do is go away and try some of this exciting new stuff out. It was also good to meet up with people in the community and talk about the latest developments and the Flash Platform generally.

Thanks to Jodie, all the speakers and everyone at Midlands Flash Platform User Group for a great day. Hopefully they’ll run more of these events in future.

Quick reminder that tomorrow Tuesday 16th June  is FlashCamp Birmingham. If you’re interested in the Flash Platform in any way at all, try and grab one of the last few remaining places. The presentations and list of speakers is really great and should make it a fantastic day for beginners and experts alike. See you there!
