Aral Balkan

Starting next week (July 16th) and every Monday afterwards, I am going to be opening my doors to developers interested in learning and hacking with SWX at SWX Mondays at Chez Aral.

If you're in Brighton or nearby in the UK, why not come down and hang out?

These are Bring Your Own Laptop (BYOL) events at my house where I present the latest updates to SWX and where we can all hack cool SWX stuff together.

SWX Mondays are open to developers of all levels and you don't even have to know Flash (yes, SWX is that simple and we'll be happy to help you get started!)

Free wifi, free drinks and nibbles, and lots of free SWX (before you get too excited, that's with a "W", not an "E"!) :)

Please add your name to the guest list on Upcoming if you wish to attend next week's inaugural SWX Monday.

• Very interesting indeed. Belgium - Brighton is just a bit too far for a visit ^^. Any chance of recording one of these meetings ? Nice initiative btw, will definately be a big hit

• Great initiative hope a lot of goods come from those evenings. And people who are somehow in the neighborhood do please attend, it will surely bring you back your Fun in working with flash and /or data

• @dietlev: Recording the meetings sounds like an interesting idea but I'm not sure how well they would translate to video. They are going to be mini hack days of sorts. With some presentation maybe on my part but mostly (hopefully) group work, discussion, etc. Then again, we should give it a shot and see. @Folkert: Thanks, man. Wish you could make it down for one -- you can crash at mine if you want to! :)

• You're mad! But it's a very cool idea, it's like the libertines gigs they used to do in their house. Maybe if you set up a camera with a live stream, people could listen in to whats going on and then fire questions at you via your nabaztag? Maybe I'll organise one here and get your video stream up on my tv.
