GatorJUG Talk in Rich User Interfaces a Success

James Ward of Adobe Software gave a brilliant talk last night at the Gainesville Java User Group. We met at beautiful Santa Fe College north of town. Just walking across campus was a pleasant experience with the tall trees and Spanish moss draping from their branches.

Prior to the meeting, James and I dropped by the McRorie Community Garden.



James got to smell the fresh basil and spotted some ripe jalapenos! It was nice to have bit of the natural beauty of Florida to welcome our guest.

James showed us how to use Flex Builder, the IDE used to build rich user interfaces with Flex. We saw the Tour de Flex website, full of useful example code available to paste into your project. We saw a live remoting example powered by BlazeDS that displayed dots on a map that appeared realtime as users all over the world visited the Tour de Flex website.

If you missed last night's GatorJUG meeting featuring James Ward you can still catch a repeat performance at the OrlandoJUG tonight. Please be sure to RSVP here http://www.codetown.us/events/orlandojug-flex if you intend to come!
