Topics

Talk up next local BarCamp iPhoneDevCampDallas

 

Discussion or presentation on Adobe apps: Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), Flex3, ColdFusion8 download

 

And discuss from Microsoft: Silverlight download, Expression Web download, Photosynth labs.live.com

 

Can tags (user-generated taxonomies) replace a pre-defined taxonomy? (SIGCHI from CHI-WEB discussion, Hal Shubin)... (one) can use tags to do some searching, but it's a very simple search... (and) what about an advanced search with tags? Maybe multiple-term clouds.

 

Perhaps one day of the BCD4 (BarCampDallas4) could be devoted to a Design Crawl and Walking Camp like this one in SF: http://orange-sf.pbwiki.com/
