Because of Stampede I want to delay our meeting till August. I have some swag to give away and we will be welcoming our new co-manager Dan Lavender. Dan and I are going to share the responsibilities of managing the group and hopefully make things a bit more exciting for our members.

As you may have heard, Adobe has announced the release of Adobe Flex 3 and Adobe AIR 1.0. Now that the cat is out of the bag, this will be the focus of today’s special meeting! Adobe is sponsoring this meeting with food, giveaways and a raffle copy of Adobe Flex Professional.

Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.

Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, delivering rich applications on the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write RIAs on the desktop using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see and hear about this highly anticipated release of Flex 3 and AIR at this meeting.

The Calgary FLEX User Group will be hosting Duanne Nickull from Adobe for the Flex 3 / AIR prerelease tour. This meeting will be held on January 30th at the University of Calgary, ICT Building, room 516. The meeting will run from 5:30 pm - 7pm. There is a posting on the website www.flexcalgary.org with a link to a campus map.

See you there.

I am starting a new job on Wednesday and will no longer be working in the downtown area, so I figured Tuesday would be a good day for a meeting. If you are interested in coming lets meet at the Rose & Crown at around 5:30. If you plan on attending RSVP by sending me an email.

We will be meeting at a new location. The forecast calls for 24 degrees and sun, so I figured the patio at The Ship and Anchor Pub will be a good place to meet and talk about some ActionScript 3.0. Let me know if you plan on attending.
