RIA Development with Adobe Flex and Flash

There are some really great online meetup groups now for Adobe Flash and Flex. John Mason runs one of the best right here in Atlanta. But you don’t have to be here in Atlanta to join in the fun!

If you’ve been using Cairngorm, the Adobe Flex framework for Flex and AIR, for any length of time. You may have wished there were some better features to the framework. Well, thankfully the folks at Universal Mind had the same thought and developed the UM Extensions for Cairngorm. The extensions are open-source under BSD licensing and will greatly benefit your Cairngorm code.Thomas Burleson from Universal Mind will present this month on the extensions and how to use them.
