There is a lot going on at Adobe with the products that many of use on a daily basis, and this is the focus of their June 2009 Tour. FlexBuilder is being renamed to FlashBuilder to better reflect its role as an IDE not only for developing applications with the Flex framework, but also for the development of ActionScript applications. ColdFusion version 9 (“Centaur”) is full of new features. ColdFusion Builder (previously named “Bolt”) is a new Eclipse-based IDE for ColdFusion application development. Flash Catalyst (previously named “Thermo”) is an application that bridges the gap between design tools (such as Illustrator) and the Flex Framework. Check out Adobe Labs for the Beta downloads: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/ and http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

Adam Lehman, the product manager for Adobe ColdFusion, will be visiting Pittsburgh on June 18th for an evening of information-packed presentations & demos, along with some fun, food & prizes. Adam has worn a few ColdFusion hats, most recently as a member of Ben Forta’s ColdFusion evangelists team. He has worked as a ColdFusion developer on both sides of the fence – writing code as an CF application developer as well as writing code for the CF product itself. On top of that, he’s a local guy, hailing from the Greensburg area.
Adam will be bringing along software to raffle off at the meeting. We’ll also have some books to raffle off, as well as lots of good swag from Adobe.
This event is jointly sponsored by two Pittsburgh Adobe User Groups: The Flash User Group, and the ColdFusion/AIR/Flex User Group. We are also involving user groups from surrounding geographies in WV, Erie, and State College. Please forward this message along to anyone that you think might be interested. We will be holding the meeting at our usual location – the IMPAQT offices at Foster Plaza in Greentree. Driving directions and other details are on our website at www.PITCFUG.org. The agenda will be:
5:30 - Food and Networking
6:30 - Introductions & Prize Drawings
6:45 - Presentations and Demos
RSVP for the meeting is highly advised, so that I can be sure to hold the event in a room that is large enough – as well as to order enough food! Registration only takes a minute at http://pittsburghadobe.eventbrite.com/ .
