March 7 Flex/Flash Event
Entry posted on Feb 28 by go2riarv@gmail.com

Title: March 7 Flex/Flash Event
Entry:

Hello LACFUG!

There will be no March LACFUG meeting since it will coincide with the Adobe Flex/Flash Tour that will be visiting the LA area. This event is in Santa Monica, on MARCH 7 at 7PM, and everyone is invited!

Adobe Evangelism Manager Greg Wilson (http://gregsramblings.com/) will be presenting. This event will clarify any changes to Flex and Flash including updates on the runtimes and tooling. Additionally, the session will educate folks about the Apache process and what it takes for Flex Software Development Kit (SDK), as a project within the Apache Software Foundation, to continue to thrive. This meeting will be the best place to get accurate and up-to-date information about anything related to Flex.

In addition to Greg Wilson, we will also have Jeff Tapper from Digital Primatives (http://www.digitalprimates.net/) who is also working on the future of Flex, the Spoon Project (http://www.spoon.as/). Jeff has been developing Internet-based applications since 1995 for a myriad of clients, including Major League Baseball, ESPN, Morgan Stanley, Condé Nast, IBM, Dow Jones, American Express, Verizon, and many others. Based in New York, he has been developing Flex applications since the earliest days of Flex 1. As an instructor, Jeff is certified to teach all of Adobe’s courses on Flex, AIR, Flash, and ColdFusion development. He is also a frequent speaker at Adobe Development Conferences and user groups. Jeff has worked as author and technical editor for several books, including Adobe Flex 3: Training from the Source and Breaking Out of the Web Browser with Adobe AIR, and sits on the editorial board of Web Developers & Designers Journal. Jeff does not know Japanese but pretends to understand Michael when he’s speaking Japanese.

Adobe Representatives and Apache Flex representatives will be discussing the (2) white papers Adobe has recently released:
Flex & SDK whitepaper: http://t.co/xJLeXC62 - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/whitepapers/roadmap.html
Flash Whitepaper: http://t.co/ZV1F9TTU - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/whitepapers/roadmap.html

Well have refreshments courtesy of ING Direct (http://www.ingdirect.com/) and prizes from our various sponsors and another prize pack from NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/). This will be a very special evening with one of Adobe's gurus so make sure you make a note of it and we'll see you on March 7!

THIS IS NOT AT THE REGULAR LACFUG MEETING PLACE! Here is the address for the Flex/Flash Tour:

ING Direct Cafe
11175 Santa Monica Blvd.
Santa Monica, CA 90025
