OC Flash Renaming Time, What’s up with Flash & Adobe, and HAXE Demo

OC Flash - Tuesday, September 11th

Thank you to all that participated in our August OC Flash meeting. We met a few new folks and had some wonderful conversations about Flash and the future of our group!

Our upcoming agenda will focus on our new group name, the latest Flash-based news from Adobe, and HAXE overview by John Reyes. We will cover:

What is our new group name (Note: The person who submits the name that is selected will receive a free book of their choice from our collection…and one of them is about Flash CS6!) What are the latest Flash news, tricks, tutorials, and tips from Adobe? HAXE– what it is, why you would want to learn HAXE, and a demo of HAXE in action –http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/5/0/event_155820592.jpeg presented by John Reyes. John’s passion is developing software, particularly creating games. He considers himself a pure AS3 developer, using FlashDevelop as his IDE of choice. John began writing programs using Macromedia Director several years back and has since broadened his scope to include Flash.
