Boston Flex Group

...and if you're wondering why I bothered putting in a Flash/Flex announcement, well here's the other shoe. There's now a Boston Flex User Group:

FIRST MEETING: Tuesday April 8, 2008 7 pm, at Adobe's Newton Office
The Boston Flex User Group's first event will be held on the evening of Tues, April 8, 2008 at Adobe Systems' Newton office at 7 pm. Developer Peter Farland of Adobe Systems will be giving us the inside scoop on the new Open Source Flex SDK, which not only includes the Flex 3.0 Framework but also the entire set of SDK tools, exposing a lot of source code and internal tooling that has never been publicly released before. Did you ever want to change the Flex Framework and rebuild your own distribution? Do you ever wonder what the Flex compiler is up to when it's chugging away? Are you just plain curious? Please join us!

No, I'm not involved with the group, though I hope to get along to the meeting. Maybe there will be giveaways..

It seems like only a few years ago I was being - reluctantly - dragged from being a Director developer to a Flash one, and now - out of no where - everyone wants me to be using Flex. Sigh Change is the thing. The world keeps changing. Change with it, or be flattened by it.
