Refresh Cambridge 09/05 - Flex, Usability, and Drupal

Sep 06 2007

Back for the new school year, another Refresh Cambridge session took place last night, again hosted by the nice people at Anglia Ruskin University.

Alan Cheung talked about his work with Adobe’s Flex framework, and demonstrated some of the impressive things you can do with it.

Paul Canning, Web Officer for Cambridge City Council, talked about Cheap’n’easy Usability, covering ways to test and discover usability issues without spending large amounts on external ‘experts’.

Finally, Jeff Veit from Tanasity reprised his BarCamb session on the Drupal CMS, demonstrating some of the power of its module-driven, community-focused, highly-flexible structure.

Next month

The next Refresh session, to take place on Wednesday 3rd October, will be the first with a distinct theme. Simon Jones of Studio 24 and I will be discussing PHP frameworks, MVC programming, and in particular the Zend and CodeIgniter frameworks.

Hope you can make it!
