If you’re a Web developer and you’ve recently been made redundant, is offering you a free copy of its Flex Buildersoftware to learn while you’re unemployed. Flex Builder is an IDE (integrated development environment) offering coding, interface design and debugging tools for Adobe‘s Flex Web development language. Flex is designed for creating visually-rich Web applications from reusable components created in the MXML mark-up language and ActionScript 3, the scripting language behind Flash.
All you have to do is make contact with an Adobe evangelist (pick your favorite or contact shorten [at] adobe dot com), provide some details about your development experience and your most recent employment and they’ll provide a free copy of Flex Builder together with links to free online training resources.
FYI: If you are a student you already can obtain a free copy (https://freeriatools.adobe.com/flex/) .

Join us at our new home at the Art Institute (South Building) for our December meeting, Wednesday at 6pm. Directions can be found at http://www.artinstitutes.edu/sandiego/AboutUs/Directions.aspx. Our meeting is in the South building, so follow these directions except instead of turning right into the AI parking lot, turn left. the driveway bends to the left and goes down a hill and points you right to the front door of the south building.
Park anywhere in the lot to the left of the South building. Once in the building, go up the stairs and we’re in the large conference room to the right at the top of the stairs.
This month we will cover the following topics:
- Recap the Adobe MAX conference
- Demo Flash Catalyst (aka Thermo)
- Raffle a copy of Adobe Web Premium (still double checking on this), but we have some swag anyway!
- Attending LAFlashapaloozastock?
- Plus open discussion and planning topic ideas for the coming year
Hope to see you there!

Many folks might be wondering where are the trial versions of the new CS4 applications. Well, it looks like we will have to wait about a month to get them. Hum, I wonder what’s happening in about a month??? Is there some conference or something.
