Super Welcome for new Co-Manager!
The Acadiana Adobe User Group has a terrific program lined up for its next meeting, Sept. 20, and in addition a special welcome to new Co-Manager Ryan LeTulle that could end up putting a new CS5.5 package into your hands!
Double goodness on April 19!
Two items of interest to add to our April 19, 2011 meeting! 1. Our presenter, co-manager Raymond Camden, will be presenting to us pretty much the same jQuery Mobile introduction he will be presenting a few days before at the jQuery Conference: San Francisco Bay Area. If you can attend both, please do, but if you can only make ours, rest assured that you're getting the same quality of presentation that conference-goers are looking forward to. 2. In addition, Ray will be using the new ColdFusion Builder 2 as the IDE for his presentation, so we'll be celebrating the launch of that new product in tandem with the jQuery Mobile presentation. Adobe is also providing a slide desk and some cool info about CFB2, so our members will have the leg up on this exciting new product. This meeting will be held Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 6-8 pm at Graham Group Interactive, 2014 West Pinhook Road, Suite 210, Lafayette, LA.
