Producing Large Events & Flex/Rails
Gregg Pollack
If you're interested in helping produce large events here in
Orlando, Mark Baratelli (who is organizing the Orlando Improv
Festival) decided to put together a panel discussion at Rollins
College tomorrow night at 7. Mark was nice enough to invite me to be
on the panel to represent BarCampOrlando, and I'm quite honored to be
speaking next to other larger community leaders. For more information
see : http://bit.ly/SKegz
I also wanted to mention that this month the Orlando Ruby Users
Group (http://www.orug.org) is joining forces with the Adobe
Developers of Greater Orlando (http://adogo.us) to bring a cross
discipline introductory talk entitled "Flex, Rails, and RubyAMF". The
meeting is taking place Thursday, September 10th, 7 PM at Devry (4000
Millenia Blvd, Orlando, FL 32839, USA) room #114.
For this presentation, Brian LeGros and Jacob Swanner will be
giving an introduction to Flex and demonstrating how to integrate it
with a Rails service using data from Yelp! They’ll show how easy it is
to integrate Flex with Rails via XML, JSON, and AMF with out the need
for anything fancy. The AMF integration is being provided by RubyAMF,
which is a plug-in for Rails, and an easy way to offer the AMF
support.
Hope to see you around town!
