Our July meeting is coming up shortly, and by popular demand we have
once again arranged to have Kalen Gibbons lead another hands-on
workshop on Flex. For those who missed it, his first Flex workshop
back in November of last year was a fantastic session, and served as a
great introduction to RIA development using the Flex framework. This
time around Kalen will be covering connecting to a ColdFusion back end
from a Flex application.

In order to participate in the workshop, attendees will need to bring
a laptop with ColdFusion 7.02 or higher and Flex Builder 3 already
installed. Technically speaking, Flex Builder wouldn't be absolutely
necessary, but constructing Flex applications without it is much more
work (and this will *not* be covered in the workshop), so it is
*strongly* recommended.

Unfortunately we will not have any workstations with the necessary
software available for those without a configured laptop, but anyone
is welcome to attend regardless of whether they wish to or are able to
follow along. (And for anyone who would like to participate but does
not have the prerequisites, we can probably work out a pair
programming scenario to allow everyone to participate.)

At this point we are intending to hold the meeting next Thursday, July
9th, at the regular time of 7:00 pm. It is possible that this may
change, as our sponsor at Cal Poly will be on vacation, so we are
currently trying to nail down the details of when a substitute will be
available. For the same reason, the room location for the meeting is
still undecided -- we will post the final details once they are
available.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
