Flex 3/AIR Pre-release with Ben Forta

on Jan 23 in Meetings

Thanks to everyone who came out to this event! The meeting was a collaboration between RDAUG, the Triangle Area Coldfusion User Group, the Carolina Adobe User Group, and the newly formed Triangle User Experience. In preparation for a soon to be released 3rd version of Adobe Flex and the 1st version of the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), Ben Forta joined us in the Triangle on the NC leg of the Flex 3 / AIR Pre-Release tour. Ben is Adobe's Senior Technical Evangelist, and as always, gave a great presentation.

Ben started with the official presentation slides, and veered off in whatever directions the audience wanted. It was a lively and somewhat sarcastic crowd as we approached the subject of pricing and release dates as Ben politely answered our question about when Flex will be released - stating only:

"Wouldn't it be a shame if your trials ran out before the product was released?";

The crowd was big too - looking to be around 120 attendees. So thanks everyone for making another Triangle stop on Adobe's tour schedule a no-brainer.
