I got something special from Adobe today that some of you will really like keeping at your desk and you can only get it by showing up to UG meetings.

A Quick Reference guide for Flex, AIR, and Actionscript. One of them could be yours. All you have to do is show up to meetings and you may be picked to get one.

Building a CMS with Flex, Coldfusion or PHP - by Matthew Wallace
At this meeting Matthew Wallace will show you two identical CMS applications that he built using Flex. One uses Coldfusion on the server and the other uses PHP.

If you have ever wanted to code a CMS for a web site and did not know where to start, Flex is the answer. It would be helpful for you guys to know a little bit if PHP or CF (just basic knowladge), but if you are totally new to using either then this presentation will be great for just about any of you.

Things that the CMS will show you how to do is, fill out a form and add the info to the MySQL DB, upload an image and have CF or PHP make a thumbnail and also store both images on the server and the name of the images will be added to the DB. Also Matthew will show you how the two different web sites are using the data. One is a PHP/HTML site and the other is a Flash based site.

Also we will be giving away some swag for the coming winter months so don’t miss out.
