Feb 12th, 2008: Thermo, Flex4 and MXMLG are slated to bring exciting new capabilities to Flex eventually, but what if you could use some of these new features in your projects today? At this months meeting, Ben will be demonstrating the Degrafa and OpenFlux frameworks. Degrafa is a declarative graphics framework (similar to MXMLG), which allows developers and designers to create rich, custom graphics without the need to know AS3 or the Flash graphics API. OpenFlux takes Degrafa a step further by introducing a new component model (similar to changes rumored to be in Flex4), which allows developers to create entirely new custom components with minimal effort.

Bio of presenter: Ben Stucki is an independent software developer in Nashville, TN. He might have had an average, every-day job selling retail electronics or installing cable, but he doesn’t. He designs and develops bleeding edge web applications using Flex 2, ActionScript 3, C#, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Apparently he’s pretty good at it. He speaks at user group meetings just to rub it in.

Meetings usually start around 6:00 or 6:30 at the latest. All meetings are held at DealerSkins unless noted otherwise. Here are the directions.
