Event Details

Interested in BlackBerry development? Maybe you're already doing BlackBerry development or a veteren in the space. Even if you have neve done BalckBerry development! Come on out and meet the local community of developers. Local BlackBerry Developers and non-BlackBerry Developers are gathering for a casual, social get-togeather in a great venue in the Byward Market. 

Ottawa is a hotbed of BlackBerry development. Java, WebWorks/HTML5, C/C++ -- whatever your flavour, there's lots of local devs that are actively working on the BlackBerry platform. We all love to talk about what we're up to and help other people solve problems they are having or make suggestions on new, great ways to take full advantage of the platform.

Stay tuned for a more detailed agenda but we like to keep the agenda loose, the mood lite and the drinks flowing!

  • 5:00 - 5:30: Networking
  • 5:30 - 6:15: Cascades: Lessons Learned with the Early Beta (Phil Belanger, bitHeads)
  • 6:15 - 7:30: Meet, Chat, Share, Drink & Have Fun!
 
About the Presentation Topic:
Cascades is a new UI framework that RIM has created for the BB10 platform. It provides a visually appealing and easy to use set of components for creating great UIs... or so goes the marketing message ;)
Every UI framework has it's quirks and after playing with the components for about 6 weeks, Phil Belanger has learned some of the "oh, if I knew that when I started THAT would have been easier..." things that can help save you time and frustration. Don't miss this opportunity to save yourself the same headaches, or, if you have had experience as well, come share with everyone else as well.
 

Patrick Mollins, RIM's local Developer Evangelist will be on-hand to answer questions and connect with everyone. Don't miss this opportunity to ask your questions directly to the man, the myth, the legend... @party_pat

 When you arrive, be sure to head to the back of the bar and downstairs to find us!
