Montreal Flash Camp

The first ever (as far as I know) Montreal Flash Camp is taking place next month on exactly March 25, 2009. Click here to register now! The contents of the day are the same as the Ottawa Flash Camp which is taking place earlier in the month.

Ottawa Flex Camp recap

The Ottawa Flex Camp was a blast. I saw my old partner in crime Stacy Young who now works at those same Adobe offices in Ottawa and another old college of mine from Optimal Payments. So it was nice to see old friends again, but also a couple of the presentations were interesting as well. One of them was related to a Flex app talking to a USB port using sockets via a local Java app. Also learning that there is a AS3 library for working with MySQL database was an eye opener! That library is hosted here, but I do not recommend using this in a production environment as there would be serious security concerns. Good for prototype apps I suppose.

Definitly would go again, kudos to the Adobe folks for entertaining 150 people for 5 hours :) Can't wait for the next one!

Ottawa Flex Camp

Forgot to mention this a while back, but a Flex Camp is being held at Adobe's Ottawa offices this upcoming August 21st. You can sign up via this website. So for those in Ottawa or in close proximity, like me (in Montreal), try to be there, should be fun!
