I'll be giving an "Introduction to Flex 2" presentation early next week, on March 7th. The presentation is for the Central Pennsylvania ColdFusion User Group, and will introduce Flex 2 from a ColdFusion developer's point-of-view.
The meeting will be held at the Country Meadows offices located at 830 Cherry Drive, Hershey, PA 17033, and will start at 6:30. If you plan on attending, be sure to RSVP at info@centralpenncfug.org in order for refreshments to be planned properly.
The presentation abstract is as follows:
Flex 2.0 extends the capabilities of the Flash Platform and allows for robust rich internet application development. Flex 2.0 is a major advancement to the Flash Platform involving a myriad of different technologies. For this meeting, Darron Schall will outline the different elements that make up Flex 2.0 and walk through creating an application with Adobe's latest offerings. Prior knowledge of Flex and/or ActionScript is not required.
My plan is to build a sample Flex 2 application that hooks up to a ColdFusion back end. The application will be on the simple side, but should give a general feel for Flex development. I'm hoping to raise a lot of questions and get people motivated to learn Flex 2. Overall, it should be a good time.
If you plan on attending, drop me a comment (and don't forget to RSVP as well). Hopefully I'll see you on the 7th!
