About the Group
If you’re excited and passionate about learning more about Adobe Flex, Air and other applications in CS4 stable, the Adobe User Group - Pretoria is the perfect way to learn, meet other users, locate information and resources and share ideas with other members.
We hold monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of every month, where members can hold presentations, learn, assist and support each other in Flex development and related issues.
Group membership is informal and costs nothing.
February 2010 Meeting
Submitted by Danny on 29 January, 2010 - 14:21.Hi everyone!
Compliments of the season and all that... Hope you are all happy to be back at work, or at least planning a clever way to kill your boss and make it look like an accident.
This year looks like another promising one for Flash and Flex, with Flash CS5 & Flex 4 on the horizon... These new technologies will bring with them the power to go mobile and stun everyone with their great performance and anthropomorphic sexiness!

As promised, we will be switching between Johannesburg and Centurion for our User Group meetings every other month. Virtuosa has been kind enough to allow us to use their offices for the next meeting on October 6th.
Firstly, the User Group management would like to thank Virtuosa for their hospitality as this will make it possible for our JHB-based members to attend the meeting without braving the crazy N1 traffic. As for the Centurion/Pretoria members, you've had your cake and eaten it for so long now :)
