Flex 3/Air Pre-Release Tour with Ryan Stewart
0 Comments Published by Jen on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 1/09/2008.
January 22nd at CubeSpace (622 SE Grand Ave., Portland OR 97214). Hosted by the Portland Adobe Developer User Group
Flex 3 and AIR are getting close to launch and in preparation, Ryan Stewart from the Adobe Flex/AIR product team is traveling to select cities to show off the great new features and help prepare us for this exciting launch.
Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.
Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, extending rich applications to the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write desktop applications using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to see and hear about this highly anticipated release of Flex 3 and AIR during this special pre-release tour. Plus, in addition to giving away some one of a kind Flex/AIR branded schwag, we will also be raffling off a copy of Flex Builder 3 Professional (pending availability) and a full commercial copy of CS3 Web Premium at this event!
There will be free food and drinks, as well as some time to socialize.
Registration is free! Please sign up here: Event Registration

Clean Technology Forum - October 9th 2007
According to the recent Energy Star report data servers accounted for 1.5% of total U.S. electricity consumption in 2006 (61 billion kWh). If current trends continue, this usage is expected to nearly double by 2011. Over 50% of companies do have green action plans for their data servers. All companies need to examine this topic since most people would agree that the cost of energy is certainly is not headed down. There are a variety of ways to help reduce the energy usage of those servers with virtualization being one of the least understood but most viable solutions.
