Who are these guys? In a nutshell, FlashCodersNY meet weekly in Manhattan to to discuss ActionScipt development and related topics.
The long answer is that the best way to learn something is by teaching. FlashCodersNy is inspired and modeled after the Design Patterns Study Group of New York (DPSG). For eight years they have met weekly to study the GoF patterns. The DPSG in turn is inspired by the study groups at Oxford University and ST John's College. Below is a quote from the DPSG website on what a study group is:
A study group is a collection of individuals who gather together regularly to improve their understanding of some non-trivial subject, such as a body of great literature, by participating in a focused discussion.
Individuals meet around a table or in a circle for 1 to 2 hours, and group size varies from 3 to as many as 16 inidividuals. Group size is limited by space or table size and whether folks can see and hear one another during discussion.
The study group organizes and maintains an agenda of readings. Prior to each meeting, participants have read and reflected upon the reading and may come prepared with questions, ideas about, or explanations of the reading.
Currently the DPSG coordinator is Bruce Trask. Bruce is a great teacher and mentor, who takes great pleasure and responsibillity in sharing his knowledge of design patterns and writing good code.
The rest of the blame for FlashCodersNY goes to Bruce Epstein the talented editor of the many excellent ActionScript / Flash books published by O'Reilly. Bruce was an early adopter of our group and a vocal supporter from the beggining.
