[Clev-jug] Flex Camp Cleveland

[Scott Seighman]

Hi All,

In the spirit of exposing the group to complementary technologies ... 
here is a RIA (Rich Internet Applications) learning event in the 
Cleveland area.

Scott


There is a great one-day software conference scheduled in Cleveland on 
April 7th.  It's called *Flex Camp Cleveland *( 
www.flexcampcleveland.com <http://www.flexcampcleveland.com/>) and it 
offers an opportunity to get a fast education to programming in Flex by 
Adobe. 
 
Flex is software tool that lets you create powerful applications that 
run in your browser or on your desktop.  These applications are 
different from ordinary HTML applications because they are actually 
RIA's, or Rich Internet Applications.  Once you see a Flex application, 
you will understand why they are so much more interesting than HTML 
applications.
 
*Flex Camp Cleveland *was organized by the Cleveland Flex Users Group 
(CLEFUG), which is just a bunch of programmers who get together and 
share ideas about Flex.  We contacted several Flex experts and put 
together a full day of one-hour presentations to help the beginning Flex 
developer get on their feet with Flex.
