According to the recent user group survey (the results of which I'll share at the meeting), one of the biggest gaps in our Adobe product knowledge is that of LiveCycle Data Services.

Recently Adobe announced the release of BlazeDS which will make open source some key server technologies that are critical to building great applications with Flex and ColdFusion.  This presentation will detail exactly what you get in BlazeDS and how it relates to LiveCycle Data Services and details some of the reasons why you might want to use these server technologies with Flex. Tom Jordahl of Adobe has offered to give a presentation on Blaze, what it is and how we can use it.

Will we have software to raffle? Heck Yeah! Ed Sullivan has graciously allowed us to raffle off a copy of either Flex 3 (professional) or ColdFusion 8 (standard) - you must be present to win.

We will be conducting this meeting over Connect, so if you cannot attend, please email me for the URL (domalley at this domain). We will, as ever, be providing pizza, so please RSVP, as I'll need a head count.
