Adobe recently made beta versions of Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder publicly available on Adobe Labs. Come out and see these exciting new tools in action and learn how they integrate with CS4 to speed Rich Internet Application development! See product feature demos, and learn how the new Flex framework powers both Flash Catalyst and Flex Builder to speed the development and testing of rich Internet applications and content.

We'll be meeting in our usual location, room P417, Red River College, Princess Street Campus, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 25. This meeting will also include our software raffle for the first half of 2009 - if you've attended previous meetings this year you'll have a chance to win some great Adobe software!

Building a data-centric applications using FC and FB4 (this is the tutorial I mentioned last night).

Lee Brimelow has a couple of nice tutorials on FC and FB4 (and his other tutorials are excellent as well, highly recommended!).

Getting Started with Flash Catalyst - haven't read through these tutorials, so I'm not sure how good they are, but they look promising; this link is to part 3, but it contains links to parts 1 and 2 as well.
