Primitive Shapes, Database Access Layers: A Convenient Truth
Nov. 12th 2007 meeting will be presented by the “Dynamic Duo” Byron McClain and Ryan Kettrey. The Title of the presentation will be “Primitive Shapes, Database Access Layers: A Convenient Truth”. Not really much else that I can say about that! All I know is I had lunch with Byron and he seamed to be really sharp as in his understanding of SQL and building RIA’s with ASP.NET will cut you like a razor blade. As for Ryan…. I don’t know much about him other than that cool little “Vector Graphics in Flex” example that he did for us on the list.
I At the meeting we will be showing stuff in the box of Adobe Crap that you can pick from if you build an app for the group. Also Don’t forget we have just one more meeting in Dec. that will allow you guys to be in the Drawing for Adobe Software. !!!!
Meeting will be held at Byron and Ryan’s office in Brentwood. Magellan Press - Check here for directions.
