With Web bu sinesses like Google and Yahoo! and brick and mortar companies like Harl ey Davidson and Sherwin Williams embracing RIAs for their online presenc e\, the media buzz is giving way to the reality of a better Internet. 3\;\n \;\nAdobe has recently contributed AMF support to the Zend Fram ework\, allowing PHP developers to easily build Rich Internet Applicatio ns using Flex and Adobe AIR that interact with a PHP backend. \;\n 3\;\nRyan Stewart\, a technical evangelist with Adobe\, will give an int roduction to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR\, and will walk through how to cre ate a Flex application powered by PHP and the Zend Framework. Working wi th Zend Studio for Eclipse\, and Flex Builder (an Eclipse plugin)\, Ryan will demonstrate how to build\, debug and deploy applications built wit h Adobe Flex\, and how to have these same applications run on the deskto p using the Adobe AIR runtime. \;\n \;\nWith this knowledge\, deve lopers will be able to easily build rich Internet applications that comb ine data from PHP and rich media like audio and video into a compelling application. \;\n \;\nRyan’s bio can be found online at http://blo g.digitalbackcountry.com/?page_id=2\n\nTags: php\, pdxphp\, programming\ , flex\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250455801 URL:http://www.pdxphp.org/ SUMMARY:PHP: Using Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR with PHP and Zend Framework LOCATION:CubeSpace [ *sniff* out of business 12 June 2009]: 622 SE Grand Ave.\, Portland Oregon 97214 USA SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090327T180423Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090330T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090330T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090327T180423Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090327T180521Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456902 DESCRIPTION:Get ready for the next iteration of Flex (Gumbo or Flex 4)!&# 13\;\n \;\nFirst meeting at Empire Group\, downtown Portland between the train station and the 405.

Though we have orders of magnitude more power at our fi ngertips\, real interactivity is still illusive - but it need not be. 3\;\n \;\nInteractive applications have been a multi-decade goal. Fle x is yet another in a long history of frameworks for delivering interact ive applications\, but technology alone does not an interactive applicat ion make. You need to understand the problems\, existing solutions and t echniques for solving the problem\, and the user of the application. Fas t is never enough\, because the complexity will grow until the app is no t fast enough and pain limits what the user can do\, underscoring the pe rception of your app - what the pain prevents me from doing vs. what the lack of pain enables me to do. Scaling is the name of the game - let's talk about bigger problems than you can imagine. \;\n \;\nSpeakers \;\n \;\nRoy Hall has been writing interactive graphic applicatio ns for more than 30 years. Trained in civil engineering and architecture \, he started writing 3D interactive apps for stadium roof design on E&a mp\;S PSII's in the late 70's. He later wrote the rendering pipeline for Robert Abel and Associates (Tron - sucking Flynn into the computer and throwing him back out)\; was the system architect for Wavefront Technolo gies (Science and Technology Academy Award for that) - and which through many morphs is now the Maya animation software\; was an Assistant Profe ssor at Cornell's Program of Computer Graphics\; wrote the 'Joey 3D tool kit' extensions for Microsoft MFC in the 90's\; worked on the interactio n model for Sketchup\; and is now the CTO for Thetus Corporation.\n\nTag s: flex\, ui\, ux\, web2.0\, ria\, pdxria\n\nImported from: http://calag ator.org/events/1250459476 URL:http://pdxria.groups.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=post.display&postid=31 954 SUMMARY:PDXRIA: Putting The Active Into Interactive LOCATION:Thetus Corporation: 34 NW 1st Ave\, Portland Oregon 97209 United States SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110518T222649Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110519T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110519T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110518T222649Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110518T222649Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250460625 DESCRIPTION:Bring out your laptop with Flash Builder 4.5 installed and we will walk through the basics of getting you started with Flex Mobile.&# 13\;\n \;\nDuring the discussion we will talk about the differences i n architecture between Flex for the Desktop and Flex Mobile.
