Been Crazy Busy… A Few Updates
Sorry for not posting more recently… I’ve been buried!
I spent the last few days in Colorado, it was beautiful! I was the best man in a wedding there (in Estes Park), you can see some photos from the trip here. CO is a nice place with fantastic scenery and super tasty microbrews. Highly recommended.
While I was there, I got to meet Juan Sanchez, designer at Effective UI, and one of the main contributors to DeGrafa. He mentioned that Scalenine’s skin contest had completed. What a great pile of entries! I can’t wait to see the library grow and serve as the premier resource for Flex Designers on the web. How cool. Even cooler, was the fact that my Coworker, Heather Ford, was one of the winners with her DiscoType Theme! Awesome.
Beyond that, my students are begnining to build some mashups and make some progress learning Flex… Some recent ones they’ve made… GeekVahalla (a tech focused RSS Reader), TweetTally (a Twitter Tag cloud search). Dropped Passes (a sports focused RSS Reader). I hope to continue to post more as they pile up.
Finally, at The Iona Group, we are hard at work on our eLearning development platform, Doctum. We’re gearing up to launch and start talking to people/demoing it at DevLearn08. If you’d like to be made aware when we launch, head on over to DoctumLearning.com to get on our list of contacts. We have a full site launching soon with features, videos etc explanining what makes it different, but for now it’s kind of in a hush hush mode. Needless to say lots of work is going on and the system is shaping up to be pretty amazing, if I do say so myself.
Hello, I am getting an error when trying to sign up for the Doctum updates. It says “Hmm. Looks like there was an error communicating with the server.”
