For those who don't know, we meet at Cal Poly Pomona and all the information can be found in our iecfug website.

Come and join us at our unusual CFUG meeting (we delayed a week due to max), and learn ColdBox 3.0.0 Beta. We will be doing a cool workshop to showcase the new 3.0.0 and maybe some ColdFusion 9 goodness.

So go to our iecfug website for our location and directions, we will meet October 15th around 6:15 PM so we can chat, but our meeting will start at 7PM.

See you there and get ColdBoxified!

Just a reminder that we will have our monthly CFUG at the IECFUG this Thursday. We will have Kalen Gibbons again doing his awesome Flex Workshops.

More info here: http://www.iecfug.com/post.cfm/july-meeting-new-flex-workshop

Our July CFUG meeting is coming up shortly, and by popular demand we have once again arranged to have Kalen Gibbons (Flex Guru) lead another hands-on workshop on Flex. For those who missed it, his first Flex workshop back in November of last year was a fantastic session, and served as a great introduction to RIA development using the Flex framework. This time around Kalen will be covering connecting to a ColdFusion back end from a Flex application.

Please see here the iecfug press release- http://www.iecfug.com

At this point we are intending to hold the meeting next Thursday, July 9th, at the regular time of 7:00 pm. It is possible that this may change, as our sponsor at Cal Poly will be on vacation, so we are currently trying to nail down the details of when a substitute will be available. For the same reason, the room location for the meeting is still undecided -- we will post the final details once they are available.

We will have the usual pizza, soft drinks and our book raffles!! We look forward to seeing everyone there!

It's almost time! Tomorrow night at 7:00 we are hosting a special event: Adobe's 2009 user group tour promoting the next versions of ColdFusion and Flex, as well as the first version of Bolt, Adobe's new IDE for developing ColdFusion applications:

We are fortunate to have Josh Adams from Adobe as our presenter for the evening:

http://blog.joshuaadams.com/

Josh Adams is Senior System Engineer & ColdFusion Specialist at Adobe Systems Incorporated. In this role, Josh supports the ColdFusion sales team throughout North America. Josh is passionate about ColdFusion and the ColdFusion community: he presents regularly to User Groups and conferences throughout North America and is a longtime member, past President, and current Director of the Atlanta ColdFusion User Group.

Josh will be speaking about what's coming up in both the ColdFusion and Flex realms, so this promises to be a jam-packed session:

The Adobe ColdFusion team is hitting the road to discuss Centaur, the next version of ColdFusion, and Bolt -- code name for the highly anticipated first ColdFusion IDE from Adobe. Learn about exciting new features and discover how Centaur and Bolt will accelerate your ColdFusion application development.

Come learn about the newest features in the Flex 4 framework, Flex Builder 4 and the newest Adobe product -- Flash Catalyst. See product feature demos, and learn how the new Flex framework powers both Flash Catalyst and Flex Builder to speed the development and testing of rich Internet applications and content.

We're going to have plenty of food and drink, as well as some great giveaways, including Adobe software. This promises to be a fantastic evening that you won't want to miss!

I completely forgot to post about this and post a link to the event we hosted at Cal Poly Pomona last month between Adobe and Microsoft. The debate was excellent and we had great attendance for the IECFUG. We where able to get more students and interest in our ColdFusion User Group and hopefully get to recruit some more after an awe inspiring presentation by Kevin Hoyt.

Unfortunately, I won't say anything bad about Microsoft because I won a copy of Vista Ultimate! :) (hmm, what did I do with it?)

If you want to see the video for yourself and see how the debate was laid out see who won, check this link out:
