For those of you in the Cleveland area, there is a new Flex user group and it's first meeting is Tuesday night.

Here's the announcement...

Announcing the formation of an exciting new user group in the Cleveland area--the Cleveland Flex Users Group, or CLEFUG! Mark your calendar for our first meeting on Tuesday evening, Oct. 9th, 2007.

Flex", made by Adobe, is a cross-platform development framework for creating rich Internet applications, or RIA's. Flex offers developers a way to create expressive, high-performance applications that run identically on all major browsers and operating systems. These applications are actually Flash programs (SWF files) that run in the Flash Player, also from Adobe. For more in-depth information on this interesting and powerful development tool, be sure to visit: http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/

CLEFUG is led by JD Schrock, a leading Flex developer in the Cleveland area. JD's main purpose in starting CLEFUG is to bring together developers of all skill levels to learn and discuss the process of developing applications in Flex. Since Flex is an Adobe product, it naturally interfaces well with Adobe ColdFusion" and should be of interest to ColdFusion developers. However Flex applications can easily be developed for the .NET environment, too, making it an ideal tool for engineering for a variety of developers.

The meetings will be held monthly at the Parma-Snow branch of Cuyahoga County Library at 2121 Snow Road, Parma, Ohio.

The meeting will start promptly at 6:30pm and will finish by 8:30pm.

For more information, e-mail clefug@gmail.com. The CLEFUG web site is under construction and should be finished before the end of October. As such, the group's not official yet (not yet listed on adobe.com), but this will be its first "unofficial official" meeting.
