After the Xmas break, we're all set to go for another year of exciting Flash Platform stuff from Adobe. 2010 will be the year of the release of Flex 4, AIR 2.0 and CS5 and there are quite a few interesting things to look into.
We're going to start this process with two 30 min introductory sessions:
- Introduction in Stratus (Ross Phillips)
Stratus: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/stratus/
- The basics of skinning and styling in Flex 4 (Kai Koenig)

Queens Wharf "Under the Sails
WHERE: Hashigo Zake
Come meet people in relaxed beer-friendly surroundings before the conference proper begins, and/or solidify friendships & contacts you've made during the workshops. Non-Webstock-attendees are welcome, but may feel quite sad that they're missing out.
Thanks to the lovely Dominic at Hashigo Zake there will be great beer specials available on the night, and as always, the all-important free wifi, and perhaps some other treats as well.
I should probably also make it perfectly clear that we're friends & fans of Webstock but not officially affiliated.

Decision Tables – A useful testing tool and more…
Decision Tables can be used as a technique for software testing. It is a tool to structure any kind of logic and can therefore be used in many different application areas, not just testing, but also for structuring the logic of your code and during other phases of the development life cycle.
New Zealand chapter meetings are unique and utilise the video or audio conferencing facilities available between Auckland & Wellington provided by one of our co-sponsors. As a result meetings take place in two cities at the same time.
Due to out of hours security restrictions, you may have to be escorted inside the buildings where the meetings are held. If there is no one at the door on your arrival, please be patient or call one of the appropriate onsite contact numbers below.
When
4th March 2010
Locations
Wellington:
Level 3, Lumley House - Hunter Street
The Wellington Testers is a group that gets together each Saturday mid-morning at a cafe (currently Southern Cross) to drink coffee and test-drive the latest version of the software for the XO.
We keep notes of the things we try, of the things that work well, and of the bugs we find. We post the notes to the development list, including all the things that did work (this makes programmers happy, after all, most of them are volunteers). For the bugs, we try our best to find steps to reproduce, and diagnose them.
Hello Wellington Hackers!
It would be a great shame if the many half-started pet projects of
this city failed to get the love they deserved because of real
priorities. To that end, I think a new Super Happy Dev House is in
order! We'll meet at the usual spot, Southern Cross, on Sunday 7 March
at around noon. Bring along your own ideas, or just come to see what
others have started.
Hope to see you all there!
Cheers,
Evan
Meet other people who work with products from the Adobe Creative Suite, have some drinks and nibbles and watch Brian Tosko-Bello showing us some tips and tricks around Colour & Cross Platforming with Adobe InDesign (and a little bit of Adobe Bridge).
