The Silicon Valley Flex User Group

With a re-newed interest in ActionScript and the technologies surrounding the Adobe Flash Player, I am soaking up every ounce of information that I can find. Although, I am in the midnight trenches right now cranking through  the FLEX 2.0 Training from the Source book, (will post a review at halfway point and end of book) I also have lunch breaks and other times where I can slam dunk a simple tutorial or learning module. One of the most interesting resources that I have found is the site forThe Silicon Valley Flex User Group. Using the power of Adobe Acrobat Connect, they are doing a great job of recording the meetings for playback. They are publishing a revolving 6-part series that will help you get started with Flex if you are new to the game! Here you can learn from some of the best in the business straight from the Adobe offices in San Francisco, CA.
