Meet on Monday, 31st April at 6pm for 6:30 start. Introduction to the OpenZoom as3 sdk
Openzoom is an open-source flash/flex sdk for displaying and interacting with zoomable images or image pyraminds. It is basically an actionscript 3 port of seadragon - the js library that got bought by Microsoft and was turned into the killer feature of silverlight. Openzoom is very still very rough, with major parts of the code missing and hardly any documentation, but it worked well enough for use on http://www.weatherchannel.com.au This talk will give a brief introduction to image pyramids and the architecture of the openzoom sdk so that you can go and use it, abuse it, then fix some bugs so I can use it some more :). Introduction to DVCSes With Mercurial Mercurial is a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS). DVCSes are starting to gain acceptance among developers from lone hackers to globally dispersed mega teams.
