I've been attending an Adobe user group (ADOGO) in Orlando for the past 6 months. And have:
- Brushed up on my Flex skills
- Re-united with old friends that I had in Orlando
- Become more interested in the coding community
With this in mind, some co-workers (Brian & Zack) and we have decided to start our own group in the Brevard County area. We call it RAnDOM (Rich ApplicatioN Developers Of Melbourne) itsRAnDOM.info. We focus on all sorts of RIA related development. From Flex to jQuery and everything that makes a website exciting and functional.
Our first meeting was last month at Goombay's in Satellite Beach. As the first ever RAnDOM meeting, it went surprisingly well. We had 10 participants and we all had lots of fun coding and helping introduce jMaps, jgCharts, jQuery, JSON, CSS, XHTML and Fire Bug to the group. Wow, we covered a lot.
The next meeting will also be at Goombay's on September 18th at 7:00 PM. This month we will be covering the basics of Flex. Anyone interested will gain a lot from this event. I hope to see you there.
