Next week two webevents with interesting speeches and presenters will take place at our Liip office in Zurich:

First Web Monday Zurich on January 18, 2010:

Dorian Selz will present Memonic, Nektoon's first product, which helps you capture, organize and use content on the web.

Maude Chatelet will present Howtopedia, a collaborative platform for practical knowledge and simple technologies that are easily explainable and usable by individuals or small communities for a sustainable and ecological future.

Drinks and snacks start at 6.30 pm, the presentations start a bit after 7 pm and like every time lots of time to discuss and network.

The day after the 31st User Group Meeting on January 19, 2010 from 7:00 pm ā€“ 9:30 pm:

Schweizr.ch is a Flash based oral history plattform of Switzerland. Anyone can register to write or record stories and post them to a geo location in Switzerland so they appear on the map and create a vivid mosaique representing the diversity of the stories Switzerland has to share.

Schweizr is the first project Liip decided to fully implement in Flex. It uses Google Maps , tons of custom components, Flex specific features and even an iPhone App . In his talk Michel will discuss these features among the many lessons learned in the process of creating this project.

Sourcemate is a new third party plugin designed for Flash Builder 4 that's supposed to simplify and support anything a developer has to deal with in the battle of creating applications ā€“ well, except for getting coffee maybe.

In his talk, Weyert will take a close look at the potential the current beta of sourcemate has to offer and will show us, whether Element River rightly refer to their baby as ā€œthe new must-have companion tool for serious Flash Builder developersā€.
