We normally meet the first Thursday of each month, but this month we want to support the Apache Flex User Group Tour. Unfortunately, they will not be stopping at our location, but we have two great opportunities to support Adobe, support the Spoon project, and learn more about the future of Flex. The dates and locations are as follows:

3/7 in Los Angeles, 7PM - http://www.laadug.org/march-7-adobes-flex-tour-hits-la/ 

3/8 in San Diego, 7 PM - http://www.sdfug.org/ 

Choose the location/date that works best for you. Lots of great information at the links above. Both locations require RSVP. Go to the links.

Dave Aguilar will be covering different options on how you can deployBlaze DS on your next project. BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Adobe® Flex™ and Adobe AIR™ applications for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences. Blaze can be used for both web based and mobile application deployments. Whether you are interested in open source on Java or leveraging the servicces bundled into ColdFusion server, this should prove to be a very interesting event.

Dave Aguilar is a full time developer and software architect at the Boeing Corporation. He brings years of experience delivering rich applications on both web and mobile platforms.
