August efug: Video and Balls
After a short summer break, efug is back in full force for the month of August!
This Monday, August 24th, 7:00pm @ the Billiard Club on Whyte Ave (map and address in the left-hand pane), Grant Skinner & Lanny McNie of gskinner.com will be showcasing some of their recent work:
Fun With Balls: Grant Skinner, gskinner.com
----
In this fun and informal session, Grant will show a wide variety of experiments he has built using circles and spheres as the core concepts. He will touch on concepts like trigonometry, circular collision detection, organic systems, and Flash Player 10's 3D APIs with a simple, example driven approach.
Dynamic Streaming in Flash: Lanny McNie, gskinner.com
----
The latest streaming video offering from Adobe, Flash Media Server 3.5, includes a new feature called Dynamic Streaming that allows applications to deliver video at a suitable size, quality, and bitrate depending on a user's internet connection and processor speed, and change feeds dynamically during playback without any noticeable change. This short session will discuss how the new feature works, and introduce some tools that automate this process. We will also touch on Adobe's new Media Framework (formerly known as Strobe), and show how dynamic streaming can be implemented into an existing framework.
As always, efug & The Billiard Club are happy to offer happy-hour drinks prizes, five-buck appetizers, free billiards after the presentations, and a never-before-seen swag extravaganza!
Tell your friends & colleagues -- hope to see you there!
