July Meeting

Our July meeting is this Thursday, July 17th. We have two presentations booked for this month’s meeting:

Easy Cheesey Panoramic, Val Head
If you’ve been put off by the complex looking code behind Papervision3D examples, this presentation is for you. Val will show how much the easier it is to work with Papervision3D now that the BasicView class is around. She’ll walk you through building a simple panoramic with a whole lot less code than you’d expect.

Development++, John Kramer
With the zillions of firefox add-ons out there, how do you know which ones are worth your time? Kramer will give you his list of useful add-on tools, both for Flash and Web development.

Meeting details:
Thursday July 17th
6:30pm
