CFLunch Photos from Ben Forta's visit and sIFR

At : 11:50 AM | Link | Flash, Coldfusion | Comments (6) | Send | 520 Views |

Thanks to Ben Forta for dropping by in January and adding extra credibility to the CFLunch concept I am fostering in Chicago, soon to be Cleveland and soon to be Detroit (whoops!) Denver. I've just added a photo section to the site and uploaded some great resources from yesterday's meeting on sIFR, PDF generation, web standards and CSS.

Danilo Celic introduced sIFR to us and is planning an article with Macromedia later this month I believe. From my own understanding of the information Danilo and Jeff discussed yesterday, the Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR) is a technique for delivering rich typography to the browser which is standards-compliant and accessible. I'm off to read about it...

  1. I had a great time just sitting down and talking with everyone yesterday.

    And thanks again to Duo Consulting for providing the conference room and the pizza for the meeting.

  2. In some sort of way it's scary that people hold meetings to discuss sIFR... perhaps my feelings show how disconnected I am from people who actually use it. But hey, that's what you get if you only hang around with people from school :)

  3. I a little bit of an ego I think assuming that we held the metting just to discuss sIFR, Mark. :-)

    Actually it came up when we were talking about things that people were working on recently, and since I had been doing a little JSFL to create sIFR fonts I mentioned it, and not many folks had heard of it, so I explained what it was and browsed to the demo page to show folks what it was all about.

  4. Well, to quote from the post:

    > yesterday's meeting on sIFR, PDF generation, web standards and CSS.

    sIFR is clearly named first, so I thought it was planned that way. Sorry! :)

    By the way, it appears you guys can get a lot mroe people together for a meeting then we do: http://www.flickr.com/photos/novemberborn/sets/101988/

  5. Mark,

    Ok, I can see that. We did talk about all those things, but the meetings don't really have an absolute agenda set, but you can suggest topics to talk about.

    No wonder you don't have many folks showing up with the attitude of this guy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/novemberborn/4046399/in/set-101988/

    :-)
