July Meeting

July 5th, 2011 Chris Griffith

We are mixing things up a little bit for this meeting. We are going to have a joint meeting with the BlackBerry Developer Group for their initial meeting at the UCSD Extension. Since the Playbook has such deep support for Adobe AIR and Flash, we thought this might be a great chance to learn more about that platform. James Polanco will still present DevelopmentArc’s newest product, Maque!

The 1st BlackBerry Developer Group meeting on July 11th, and it will be held in room 201 at UCSD Extension’s University City Center Building:
6256 Greenwich Dr.
San Diego, CA 92122
Phone: (858) 534-9999
Fax: (858) 246-1031

Adobe/Blackberry PlayBook Contest

January 3rd, 2011 Chris Griffith

As you all undoubtedly know Adobe has been working closely with RIM to help them create a lot of great AIR apps for the Blackberry PlayBook launch in 2011. RIM is offering free PlayBooks to app developers whose apps get accepted into App World (http://us.blackberry.com/developers/tablet/playbook_offer.jsp) but Adobe decided to make the offer a little better for Adobe User Groups.

So, here’s the deal. Adobe is going to raffle off a bunch of prizes to both Adobe User Groups and to members of the groups who submit apps to the App World between now and February 1, 2011. Here’s what’s available:

1) ALL user groups who have at least one app submitted get an extra software raffle in 2011.
2) TEN individual user group members (or managers) drawn at random from all entries get a copy of FB4 Premium.
3) THREE Grand Prize winning user groups get a new mobile device to raffle off at an upcoming user group meeting.

So – there’s prizes available both for the groups and for individuals.

TO ENTER, you need to have SUBMITTED an AIR app to Blackberry’s App World AND you need to fill out the following form. Any member of an Adobe User Group or any group manager can enter. Multiple entries from one user group increase your chances to win.

This is the entry form link: http://bit.ly/AUGraffle
