Capital Area Flex User's Group April Meeting Reminder

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:37:00 -0700

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/.

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 09:25:00 -0700

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.
