initRIA:registrations are open

Bangalore Flex User Group has launched the initRIA website last night. It’s now up and running and open for registrations.

According to Mrinal, Manager, Bangalore Flex User Group: initRIA it is the first of its kind Rich Internet Applications developer conference in India. We, the members of the Bangalore Flex User Group are organizing this conference with the hope of providing a platform for RIA enthusiasts around the country to interact and learn. The lists of talks is not finalized yet, we will be accepting topic proposals till the 11th of December, so if you have a topic in mind that you would like to talk about, become a speaker at initRIA by sending your topic proposals to organizers@initria.org. You can get more info about this at our FAQs page . The goal is to attract speakers and audience who are interested in different kinds of RIA technologies although till now all the topic proposals that we have received are about the Flash Platform, probably because I personally do not know many experts on other RIA technologies... so if you know any RIA gurus do try and convince them to share their knowledge at initRIA. If you need any kind of help with this, do write to us at organizers@initria.org.

I will be there at initRIA and wish to speak on the event .I have not finalized my note for the meet yet.I would be a great experience to meet all the flex enthusiast there.

I also want to see half a million Indian Flex Developers in next three years!

Dear Yakov Fain,

This is regarding your post "I also want to see a million Flex developers in three years". I liked your attitude towards the technology, especially when you say ' I’m not going to fall in love with any programming language, sorry, Flex. But I promise, we’ll have steady relations for a while’. You are sounding like a real businessman here :)! I agree that everything depends on the current market trend. Flex is hot and you want to explore or exploring the opportunity around. Good luck Yakov Fain! But I don't agree on the part that India is still asleep. Have a look to this post

Flex India is going great guns

This post will prove you wrong! As an early adopter of flex and being a part of the ever increasing flex developer community of India,I can assure you about a good competition soon from these new kids on the block.

Best Regards,
Debabrata

Pune Flex User Group

It was another Saturday for me. I was eagerly waiting for this Saturday to come. It was Pune Flex User Group Meet.Aasim, one of my colleagues and I left home early, just to make sure that we reach he venue on time but we had little idea about Pune’s rain. It was raining cats and dogs. By the time we reached ECMi office, we were half wet. Yes,We were 30 min late!!

After entering the boardroom of ECMi, first thing I noticed is Abdul, his Apollo T-shirt and lots of unknown faces. When we settled down to the last row of the room, Abdul was talking about flash and flex and rest of the audience was engrossed in that presentation. Time passed on and I made myself comfortable with the informality of the meet. I was really happy to see the passion of the developers about flex. I would like to tell about Martin, who came all the way from Mumbai just to attend the meeting. I used to know him through groups and forums.He was the only guy who noted down every details of the meeting.

I would like to thank all of you guys to make it an august one!!
