I wonder if some people had difficulty finding us in the new meeting location at JD? Sorry for the confusion that the location change may have caused, but we should be meeting in this new location at JD campus each month from now on. If you planned to attend last night but didn't find us, please contact me so that we can make sure you know how to find us next time.

I showed some demos of the new Flash Catalyst public Beta 1. Those who attended were very impressed at how easy Catalyst makes it to set up and create complex, interactive interfaces with basic transitions etc.

I've been busy over the last few months and so I have not managed to put in all the time that I would have liked into learning catalyst, so I cheated and showed demos from Lynda.com and InsideRIA.com.

I've attached a brief PowerPoint file to this blog post and the PowerPoint includes links to the demos I used. Please take the time to download the PowerPoint and check out the links. These will help you get up to speed with Flash Catalyst and show you most of the features in the current build. If you have not already seen a Flash Catalyst demo you will be impressed at the power of the tool!
