From Todd Rothe who gave the 10/25 presentation on Flex:

Here is a link for the group to the resources from my presentation.

Also, it would be great if you could let the group know that they can learn Flex through NCFUG.

NCFUG meets on the first Thursday of each month. The first hour consists of hands-on training for beginners. The second hour is reserved for higher level presentations on Flex/Flash/AIR and how they work with other technologies.

Join us on February 4th when we will be building a slideshow in Flex.

Entry by Cyndi Reese

Note: this event is full and RSVPs are no longer accepted

************

I just received this email from Rachel Luxemburg at Adobe Systems about a special 20th anniversary party for Photoshop in San Francisco. If you decide to RSVP, you must make sure that you attend -- no shows are not OK as this is an important event and there is a lot of interest.

It sounds awfully fun. I hope someone comes back with a poster for me... Cyndi

************

For 20 years, the world has used industry-leading Adobe Photoshop software to transform creative inspiration into nearly everything we see, from magazine covers to medical devices to city skylines. That's why, every day, Adobe is inspired to create the innovative technologies that build more speed, intelligence, and magic into each new Photoshop product-so you can continue to turn your creative vision into reality.

Adobe is kicking off a year-long celebration of Photoshop's 20th anniversary starting with an Adobe and National Association of Photoshop Professionals star-studded celebration, live at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco, February 18th, 7:30pm.

The evening is hosted by NAPP Founder Scott Kelby and Adobe Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Creative Solutions Business Unit, Johnny Loiacono, with the NAPP Photoshop Guys--Dave Cross and Matt Kloskowski, plus Adobe Photoshop star Russell Brown, and other important members of the Adobe team.

Local Adobe User Groups and ACPs are invited to join as they take the stage for this history-making, fun-filled night packed with amazing Photoshop tricks, incredible tips, and a celebration of the program that changed and shaped popular culture forever. Plus, you will get an exclusive sneak peek at the future of Photoshop.

Everyone attending gets a one-of-a-kind Photoshop 20th anniversary t-shirt and poster commemorating this amazing night of learning and fun. You must pre-register to attend.

If you cannot be there in person, the event will be webcast - more details on that to follow.
