Flex Builder 3 Requirements

Posted On February 26, 2008 3:46 PM By Phil in Flex,CFUG,ColdFusion

Our illustrious Philly CFUG leader, Steve Rittler posted a response to a member's question on the requirements for installing and using Flex Builder from a CF developer's perspective. It's a good overview of the minimal requirements. Check it out.

A Good Night!

Posted On February 26, 2008 1:12 PM By Phil in Flash,AIR,Flex,CFUG,ColdFusion

Last night, the 3 local Philly user groups threw a release party for Flex 3 and AIR 1.0. A big thanks to the guys at Independence Hall for hosting the event. IndyHall is a coworking organization that rents space in a building in Old City to those work work from home, telecommute or just want to get out of the stuff office.

The event itself was a good networking event with pizza, soda, and Red Bull for all. A short video of the AIR team was shown, narrated by Kevin Lynch. After that, a demo was down connecting the Wii remote with Flash, pretty cool stuff. After that, two copies of Flex Builder were given away, one version 2 with charting and the other version 3 Professional, many t-shirts (apparently Steve will be giving these away forever), and bunch of the eBoy AIR Launch Posters, of which I won one. Now the question is where to put it in the house

Anyways, thanks to all who made last night possible and I look forward to future meetings of the Flash, Flex, and ColdFusion user groups in Philly and some more cross group networking events!

I meant to do this last week but last-minute Christmas shopping, decorations, and feeling a little bit under the weather contributed to its delay. Anyways, here is a review of the December 18th meeting of the Philly CFUG meeting.

Philly CFUG Meetings

Posted On October 30, 2007 5:46 PM By Phil in CFUG,ColdFusion

It looks like Steve has lined up some meetings for the Philly CFUG for the rest of the year. The presentations and organization are spearheaded by Terrence Ryan. Terry, I'm guessing you emailed Steve (or got caught online) and asked when our next meeting, and thus, volunteered yourself. Anyways, I hope to see all the CF developers in the Philly area at these meetings.

Philly CFUG Scorpio Review

Posted On May 16, 2007 7:47 AM By Phil in CFUG,ColdFusion

Over 40 people attended the ColdFusion 8 Road Show with Adam Lehman and Tim Buntel stop at the Philly CFUG yesterday, held at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Before getting into highlights of the meeting, the facilities at Wharton are absolutely top notch. The lecture hall was nice and roomy, no standing room only as has happened at past meetings of the group (which is a good thing, though). Second, I've never seen presenters able to just walk up, hook their laptop up and get running with the projector quicker. So a big thank you to the team at Wharton for letting the group use the facilities. Anyways, the meeting lasted about 3 hours and there was plenty of features shown as well as questions from the audience that helped to explain some of the features shown in more detail. I don't believe anything shown yesterday was a new feature, except the mention of the <CFDBINFO> tag which I believe was shown the day before as I saw a mention of it on CF-Talk. The presentation was broken down into 3 different areas: Development, Integration, and Server Management. I really liked the breakdown as it gave a good flow to the presentation and lent itself to natural break points (so we could all grab more pizza and soda so Steve didn't have to take 15 pies home). So now on to some highlights (remember the golden disclaimer, all items presented are subject to change, etc.):
