Thanks for the great meeting!

May 3rd, 2011 Chris Griffith

I hope everyone had as much fun attending the lab, as I did giving it! If you want to do more of these type of meeting, let me or James know. Here are the intro slides that I presented.

Here are some resources that were posted last night, along with the announcement that Creative Suite 5.5 is now shipping!

Narciso Jaramillo (nj) has a great tutorial on building an app that gets the latest trending topics from Twitter and lets you see the tweets for each topic as well as who posted each tweet.

The document I was referencing during the lab can be found here.

Have fun!
