Tomorrow I’ll be giving a presentation on Degrafa at the Rocky Mountain Adobe User Group (RMAUG). The user group is in Denver, CO, but if you can’t be there in person, the whole thing will be “broadcast live” via Adobe Connect. If you can’t make it at all I think it’s going to be recorded, so you can replay my lack of typing skills and those things that always seem to go wrong during a presentation.

If you haven’t heard of Degrafa, it’s an open-source framework for defining graphics programatically through MXML. It greatly simplifies the process of creating dynamic graphics, skins, data visualizations, etc. Features include a library of shapes, fills, strokes, advanced CSS, focus on code reuse and much more. I use Degrafa in every Flex project I’m get my hands on.

I’m glad to finally be able to do something like this. There has been a lot of expressed interest in Degrafa, particularly in a Connect Session. I plan on going in depth on the features Degrafa has to offer, what people are doing with it, running through some sample code and talking about what plans we have for the next release. There will also be more of a hands-on session, which I’m not quite sure how that will work for those following via Connect.

If you’re interested in Degrafa I think this will be a great way to get up to speed with the framework, get some questions answered or just another way to heckle me. I’ll also be listening for feature requests, although my answer usually always is, “We’re working on it.”
