Adobe just announced that all customers that own Creative Suite 4 Web Premium or Master Collection are eligible for a free full version of Flex Builder 3.

You can find details at https://freeriatools.adobe.com/cs/.

So we have this new brilliant idea.  We are going to have casual lunches in addition to our user group meetings.

John Olson from the VegasAUG put together a survey to help us figure out the best way to do these.  If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks,
Garth

Don't forget about the excellent meeting we have lined up for tomorrow.  Sergio will be getting into WordPress and all its awesominity.  Leonard will also be showing off some fantastic demos of integrating hardware (read: blinking lights, sensors, general amazingness) into Flex and Flash applications.  Coding knowledge not required to enjoy either, but plenty code examples are available upon request.

We hope to see you there.  Find details here.

Thank you everyone who helped out last night (especially Chaz and Deb).  The UG Tour meeting went well.  I will post pictures when I have a chance to go through them.

Don't forget about the meeting on July 7th (please RSVP).  We will be covering WordPress and Phidgets.

We have an awesome meeting setup for June 15th.  Since we will be providing a pizza, drinks, and a ton of give aways we would really appreciate it if you would RSVP ( http://ugtourlv.eventbrite.com/ ).

Let me know if you have any questions.
