For those of you interested in learning more about Degrafa and all the new features in Beta 3, you’ll have a chance at Adobe MAX Europe. Jason Hawryluk and I (Juan Sanchez) will be giving a presentation on Tuesday during lunch in the Community Lounge. There will be a board with the exact time in the Community Lounge, so keep an eye out for it.

Jason and I are super excited to be giving this presentation. We’ve been working on Degrafa from the beginning for almost two years. It’ll be the first time we’ve met face to face, so if you’re attending MAX Europe you’ll be getting a presentation from the founders of Degrafa.

Degrafa has become super powerful, flexible and extensible for creating graphics for pretty much anything you can imagine, like mapping, graphics editing, dynamic graphics, rich UIs, artistic explorations and more. People at MAX North America got some awesome insight into Degrafa Beta 3, but it’s been a week and we’ve got even more to show. I think people will be amazed at what they can do with such minimal code.

This presentation is not to be missed and if you’ve got an example of how you’ve used Degrafa we’d love to see it. Also, be sure to grab other people at lunch and bring ‘em over. We hope to see you there.

Thanks to all who attended the Degrafa talk at the 360|MAX set up for the Unconference at Adobe MAX and the Degrafa Birds of a Feather. Tom Gonzalez and I (Juan) weren’t really sure what to expect with the turn out, but it was really great. We started with one person who was really amped to see the new stuff to a packed room by the time we finished.

There was a ton of stuff to cover with the new Beta 3 release and the new site. I was making samples right until we had to go up on stage and having a blast doing it. This new release makes things so easy, whether you’re a designer, developer, artist, etc.

Below are the slides from the talk and I’ve uploaded the majority of the samples from the talk to the Degrafa Samples page. We’re going to try to see if Jason Hawryluk and I can give the same talk at MAX Europe. With Jason there, if we can set up a talk it will probably be the best Degrafa talk ever. Or, if there’s a user group who’d like to help us get set up, that would be great. Enjoy the slides.

If you’re in Michigan and want to learn about Degrafa you should check out the Michigan Flex Camp. Joe Johnston will be doing a presentation about the framework and may be showing some new Degrafa features coming in future releases. If you haven’t checked out some of the stuff Joe has done with Degrafa, we recommend you check out his site.
