Just a quick meeting reminder that the Capital Area Flex User's Group is meeting this Wednesday night at 6:30pm at AboutWeb.

We have another amazing meeting lined up for you tomorrow night. To start off the night we'll have Ashish Jaiman from Microsoft present on Silverlight. This should be an opportunity to see where Microsoft stands with it's competing product and perhaps inspire some friendly rivalry.

After a break for food and drinks, Kelly Brown will be presenting on BlazeDS, an open source Flex/Air server initiative from Adobe.

Please arrive by 6:30pm at our Rockville office as presentations will begin promptly at 7:00pm. For directions and more information visit www.dc-flex.org.

As always, we will be broadcasting the event live on Adobe Connect. To follow the event online (sorry no e-food though!) go to http://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/capfug0408/.

Just want to pass on the word that tomorrow AboutWeb LLC and Adobe Systems will be hosting the Flex Camp Washington, DC 2008. This is one-day gathering with Adobe Flex experts covering everything you need to know about the power of Flex, the upcoming release of Flex 3, and a bit about the much anticipated Adobe Air.

Since we have already surpassed the registration capacity, we are going to be broadcasting the entire event live on Adobe Connect from 9:30am to 12:00pm and then after lunch break from 1:00pm to 5:00pm (All times are Eastern Standard Time).

To view the event go to http://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/dcflexcamp08/, choose the "Enter as a Guest" option and click "Enter Room" after entering your name. We look forward to seeing you online!

As mentioned previously we have started to broadcast live and record the Capital Area Flex User Group meetings. Last night we had a great turnout and special thanks to Danny Dura and Christian Cantrell for coming out and presenting.

Here are the recorded sessions:

Just want to quickly mention that tonight's CAPFug meeting will be the first of many that will be broadcast live using Adobe Connect.

Tonight's meeting with our special guest speakers from Adobe can be seen here:

Just a quick note that tomorrow evening, Wednesday, November 7th, the Capital Area Flex User's Group(CAPFug) will be hosting two special guest speakers from Adobe.

Danny Dura, Adobe Evangelist, will be giving an overview of Adobe AIR and Christian Cantrell, AIR Product Manager, will dive into some details with "Deconstructing AIR Applications".

The meeting will start shortly after 6:00pm here at the AboutWeb Office and as always, free pizza, sodas and snacks are provided during the social break between sessions.

Just a quick note for those of you that like me are hooked on "The Glue". Model-Glue that is!

Joe Rinehart has added a nice feature for integrating MG with Flex without having to refactor your controllers into service layers. For more information and detailed explanation on how to take advantage of this new feature checkout the Model-Glue Blog at Model-Glue: New Flex Integration Features.

I'm very glad to announce that Joe Rinehart has just officially released version 2.0 (codenamed Unity) version of Model-Glue! Joe also released Model-Glue: Flex, a "conceptual port of Model-Glue implicit invocation framework to ActionScript 3 and Flex".

And to top it all off both offerings are available on a brand spanking new shiny website, so head on over to www.model-glue.com and get your copies now!

Congratulations to Joe on yet another major milestone, the glue just keeps getting better and better and we appreciate all the effort that goes with it.
