Flash for CFers: Getting Over the Hump (One Day Seminar)
Are you a newcomer to Flash, and Flash Remoting? But an experienced CF developer interested in what Flash can do, but who's had trouble getting started?
Perhaps you've heard all the hype, and you're likely impressed, until you open the program--or a typical book about it. There's so much focus on graphics, drawing, animation, and sounds, etc. If you just want to get started with it to spice up your forms and add new client-server interactivity, it can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be.
In this seminar, frequent CFUG speaker and CFDJ author Charlie Arehart will bring his unique style and perspective to help get you over the hump of getting started with Flash. This presentation doesn't presume you have any Flash experience, unlike so many articles and chapters on Remoting. Indeed, Flash Remoting (and CFMX) is just one of several ways to interact between Flash and the server. If you're using an older release of CF, or PHP, or even an older version of Flash, you can still take advantage of Flash Integration. This seminar will get you off on the right foot.
