We will explore Mobile and Tablet challenges and solutions from various perspectives and have an introduction to the next-generation profiling tool for ActionScript based content.

Introducing Monocle by Laurent Jayr.

Project “Monocle” is a new memory profiling tool to profile ActionScript applications (Flash Player on the desktop) and mobile applications (that run on Adobe AIR). With a short demonstration, he will introduce the main Monocle features for optimizing performances with Flash/AIR applications.

Universal mobile and tablet applications for the post native-only era: constraints and solutions by Cédric Madelaine  analogd.

From web-applications to native applications, from hybrid solutions to universal frameworks, each approach has to address several fragmentation issues at a great variety of levels. Cedric Madelaine will present the challenges for nowadays’ mobile and tablet application development, design and publication. Cedric will also introduce solutions and tools currently available. Along this presentation, hands-on comparative demos on various mobile and tablet devices will be shown.

Successful freelancing with Flash & Flex:
Fernando Colaco

After a few years of freelancing, and with everything going really well now, in my session I share a compilation of little (and not so little) things that were mostly learned by trial and error.

From business administration to dealing with clients, discipline (you’ll need a lot), time management, legal headaches, self-promotion and my best advice of what to do, but specially what NOT to do, in different situations and in specific kinds of projects.

The idea is to provide everyone a better overview of what might not be so easy, what might be simpler than imagined, or, for actual freelancers, share some experiences and advice that can always be useful.

Please register to this event: this event is free but registration is required.

Hands on Adobe Flash Platform Next Gen:
When the Princess meets her Plumber

This presentation will be built on a use case, through which we will follow the new improved workflow. This will showcase how various people of an agency or a company can benefit from it, from the requirements phase to UIX, from UI graphic elements (FXG) to the Adobe Flash Catalyst preparations, from Adobe Flash Catalyst to Adobe Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 SDK new component and skinning architecture.
Following this track main new concepts of Flex 4 SDK will be explained and advantages demonstrated, such as: the new skins and components architecture, layouts managers, MXML Graphics and FXG, new States syntax, animations and effects, data centric development and new web services integration.

Get ready for the next gen!

La conférence se déroulera le mardi 20 avril de 19h00 à 21.00.
à UNI MAIL – 40, bd du Pont-d’Arve, 1211 Genève 4 [map], dans la salle M R150.

L’AUGG a le plaisir de vous acceuillir dans le cadre du Département de Systèmes d’Information ( SYINF ), pour une présentation sur le Model-Driven Development avec Flash Builder 4 et Livecycle Data Services 3.

“Le module Adobe® LiveCycle® Data Services ES2 est un framework évolutif et optimisé qui facilite la création d’applications simples d’emploi, personnalisées et interactives. Doté d’une palette de fonctionnalités étoffée, il simplifie le développement, l’intégration et le déploiement d’applications Internet riches (RIA). “

La réunion se déroulera à la maison des associations, 15 rue des Savoises [map], salle Albert Jacquard, le mardi 17 Novembre à 19h00.

l’AUGG a le plaisir d’accueillir Killian et Daniel de busfront, pour une présentation de leur Framework Media Open source.

“Le Framework as3 EPP, développé par Busfront, permet de standardiser et de faciliter le développement d’applications riches manipulant des contenus multimédias (vidéo, audio, image ou collection de médias).
EPP est un logiciel libre (licence GNU GPL3) compatible as3 (flash et flex).”

La réunion se déroulera chez nos amis des Ateliers Nomades [map], le mardi 3 Février à 19h00. Pour cette première réunion de l’année, nous aurons la chance d’avoir une conférence de Renaud Ott.

Assistant de recherche à l’EPFL, il s’intéresse aux applications de Réalité virtuelle et plus particulièrement aux interfaces haptiques.

Renaud vous présentera sa thèse de doctorat qu’il vous expose en ces termes:

” In this presentation, I will introduce you a research topic whose popularity is increasing : HAPTICS.
Haptics (from greek (Haphe) : to touch) is the touch simulation in Virtual Reality.
This is done by the mean of specific peripherals allowing the user to feel forces or vibration, which increase the realism.
A Force Feedback joystick or a steering wheel enter in this category, but I can also cite more advanced device like the Haptic Workstation that we have at EPFL (see the picture).

I will deal with:

• 3D Virtual Environments: how to create (program) them, and display them (on a screen, a HMD, a CAVE).

• Haptic devices: I will give a description of the hardware devices, presenting the specifications, etc.

• Haptic Applications: how to manipulate objects in a Virtual Environment as if it was the reality, what are the challenges, the issues, and the solutions ? What will it bring in the future ?

I will be pleased to answer any questions that you can have about 3D graphics or Virtual Reality. “

Renaud Ott.

A la fin de la conférence, je vous exposerai brièvement le nouvel outil mis à disposition par ADOBE pour les User groups.

Et vous convierai à partager pizzas et limoncellos.

Salutations,

Thierry
