July Meeting: New Flex Workshop

Our July meeting is coming up shortly, and by popular demand we have once again arranged to have Kalen Gibbons lead another hands-on workshop on Flex. For those who missed it, his first Flex workshop back in November of last year was a fantastic session, and served as a great introduction to RIA development using the Flex framework. This time around Kalen will be covering connecting to a ColdFusion back end from a Flex application.

In order to participate in the workshop, attendees will need to bring a laptop with ColdFusion 7.02 or higher and Flex Builder 3 already installed. Technically speaking, Flex Builder wouldn't be absolutely necessary, but constructing Flex applications without it is much more work (and this will not be covered in the workshop), so it is strongly recommended.

Unfortunately we will not have any workstations with the necessary software available for those without a configured laptop, but anyone is welcome to attend regardless of whether they wish to or are able to follow along. (And for anyone who would like to participate but does not have the prerequisites, we can probably work out a pair programming scenario to allow everyone to participate.)

At this point we are intending to hold the meeting next Thursday, July 9th, at the regular time of 7:00 pm. It is possible that this may change, as our sponsor at Cal Poly will be on vacation, so we are currently trying to nail down the details of when a substitute will be available. For the same reason, the room location for the meeting is still undecided -- we will post the final details once they are available.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
