Our sister user group, San Diego Adobe Developers User Group is presenting “Learn how to Build Flex apps as SaaS”.
Just in our backyard of San Diego, there are start-ups that are leveraging a Flex and open-source stack to build next generation, SaaS applications. Perminova is one such company who is growing rapidly by bringing this combination of technologies to solve mission-critical healthcare data needs. The company’s next generation web-based platform offers flexibility and scalability for customers of all sizes, ranging from hospital OR departments to stand-alone surgery centers to multi-facility healthcare organizations. This is a great opportunity to not just learn about how to build Flex SaaS apps but to also meet with the President of Perminova, Robert Cass, and learn about joining Perminova’s growing developer team.

The presentation will be based on the basic multi-touch capabilities the Flash Player has using Adobe Flex. We will be going over what it can and cannot do (out of the box), how multi-touch works with Flex, Some very basic code demos to help everyone understand and get started, and then I will show a more complex product to demonstrate the possibilities.

In case you missed the news the Adobe released Flash Builder 4, along with the Flex 4 Framework (and for you ColdFusion users, a new ColdFusion Builder).
In addition, Adobe added a new Social service to the recently introduced Adobe® Flash® Platform Services. The Social service streamlines integration between Web applications and 14 leading social networks using Facebook Connect, Sign-in with Twitter, MySpaceID and LinkedIn.
To celebrate this, both the San Diego Flash User Group and the San Diego Adobe Developer User Group will be co-sponsoring a launch event. Come learn about the new features and improvements in Flash Builder and the Flex Framework.
