RIA Dev Shed Update!
The following is a message from Matthew Reinbold, coordinator of RIA Dev Shed:
Last week I was able to announce the RIA Dev Shed, a day long event focused getting started with some incredible next gen web technologies. You can see the original flyer online. While the website is still coming I thought I’d share what info I do have for those of you still hoping to take advantage of the $99 early bird discounted registration that runs through February 1st (on Saturday, Feb 2nd registration goes up to $159). If you’re new to the world of Flex and AIR this event looks to be a tremendous introduction. If you’ve already started exploring these powerful new ways of creating applications the RIA Dev Shed will put you that much farther ahead.
The day long event is on Friday, April 4th. I haven’t finalized the venue but there is a strong likelihood we will be at an easily accessible location near
