Rich Internet Application Camp & Web Academy Success Story with Pictures

Posted by Administrator on April 15, 2008 in Events

The Chico Flex User group and the Chico Java User Group just had one of the busiest weeks. I was so burnt out that it took me a while send this email to follow up and thank everybody.

On April 9th, the Rich Internet Application Camp was a blast. Almost 76 people attended out of 100 registered. We had presentations on Comet (Reverse Ajax), Adobe Flex, The Art of CSS in DreamWeaver, Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Flex Java Integration, and Adobe ColdFusion Java Integration. We stayed very late and ended up with 30 people by the end of the night. We had presenters, including myself, from companies like E*Trade, WebAssist, and Improvement Direct. It was a very good turn out.

We taped the whole event and we are working on making it available online very soon.

On April 12th, With the partnership of Upward Bound, Chico (a Federal TRIO Program funded by the U.S. Department of Education http://csucub.csuchico.edu/), We put together a Web Design Academy. High School Kids from Chico, Orville, Yuba City, and Marysville were taught the principles of web design, HTML, and Adobe Flex for a whole day. They were given a tour of the College of Engineering and the Computer Science department, and served lunch.
