December Meeting: Holiday Party!

Hi everyone -- 2009 is almost gone, and we're planning to wrap up the year with a bang! Instead of holding our regular meeting at Cal Poly next week, we're planning to have a networking event/holiday party at a local pizzeria.

This shindig is scheduled for 12:00 pm on Saturday, December 19th at Pizza 'N Such in Claremont, which is located on the northeast corner of 2nd Street and Yale Avenue.

In order to encourage folks to mingle, we've reserved their back room, which seats about 15-20 people, so we'll have a semi-private area to ourselves (with overflow into their main dining area if necessary).

We're also giving away some great prizes to close out the year, including an Adobe software license (which can be used for a copy of ColdFusion 9!), and a set of the one-day ColdBox training materials (generously donated by Luis).

Please reply to the thread on our Google group if you're planning to come so we can get a sense of how many people to expect. Also, if anyone wishes to bring a friend/spouse/significant other please feel free, just add them to the head count.

Hopefully folks who aren't able to make it to meetings during the week will be able to come out for this event -- we'd love to meet some new people!

ColdFusion/Flex Tour Tomorrow!

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:

Continuing a long tradition of innovation, Adobe is pushing the boundaries of the Adobe Flash Platform with exciting new releases for Flash, Flex, and ColdFusion designers, developers, and administrators. Join us as Adobe’s Josh Adams presents the future of ColdFusion, Flex, and more! On the ColdFusion side, Josh will talk about the upcoming releases of ColdFusion (currently known by the code name Centaur) and the highly anticipated first ColdFusion IDE from Adobe (currently known by the code name Bolt). You’ll learn about exciting new features and discover how Centaur and Bolt will accelerate your ColdFusion application development. On the Flex side, Josh will talk about the next release of Flex (currently known by the code name Gumbo). You’ll see product feature demos and learn how Gumbo breaks new ground for not only developers but also designers as it powers the design, development, and testing of rich Internet applications and content. And of course, Josh will explain and demonstrate the power of ColdFusion and the power of Flex working together!

We're pulling out all the stops for this event, so there will be plenty of food and drink, swag to give away, and also a raffle for a software license, where the lucky winner can choose from a number of valuable products, including the Creative Suite 4 Premium bundles, Flex Builder 3 Professional and ColdFusion 8 Standard.

Please note that this event will be held in a different room than our usual location for our meetings. This time out we will be in room P2-7 of building 98 (the C/L/A building), the meeting room for Cal Poly's Academic Senate (item #20 on the second page linked below):

As school is not in session this week, no parking passes should be required to park in student lots -- just avoid anything that is labeled as faculty or staff parking.

We hope to see you all there!

Adobe is embarking upon a world-wide tour of user groups to publicize the next versions of ColdFusion and Flex, as well as the first releases of Bolt and Flash Catalyst, two new tools for developing ColdFusion and Flex applications. We have been selected as a stop on the tour, and our event will be held on Tuesday, June 16th at 7:00 PM in room P2-7 of the C/L/A building at Cal Poly Pomona. We are fortunate to have Josh Adams from Adobe as our presenter for the evening:

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!

Adobe vs. Microsoft RIA Debate

Come join us for "The battle for control of the future of computing" debate at  7 PM (PST/GMT +8) on Thursday, February 12 in the Bronco Student Center (Ursa Minor) at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. Microsoft Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. will present their contenders for whose technologies will dominate. Adobe (maker of Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver) is encouraging developers to create media-rich desktop computer applications that operate independently of the Internet through its Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). Microsoft wants developers to create media-rich applications that can be used online through its Silverlight technology.

Sam Stokes, academic developer/evangelist at Microsoft Corporation and Kevin Hoyt, platform evangelist at Adobe will represent the two sides. The free event is sponsored by the Interactive Web Development Student Association, the Computer Information Systems department in the College of Business Administration and the Inland Empire ColdFusion User Group and will be streamed live over the Internet. Pizza, refreshments and a free drawing for multimedia software will be provided.

If you can't make it in person, you can watch it live or afterwards at http://video.csupomona.edu/streaming/Events/FutureOfComputing.html

RSVPs to rdwestfall@csupopmona.edu are encouraged

Parking for visitors at Cal Poly is $5.00.
