ColdFusion, Flex and Adobe Parties in Michigan

There have been a couple of great get-togethers in the ColdFusion, Flex and Adobe user group communities in Michigan.

The month started out with a combined holiday party of the Mid-Michigan ColdFusion Users Group and the Michigan Flex Users Group in East Lansing. It was a complete geek-out fest. Pizza, beer, MAX 2008 recap and important debate on topics such as the killer app of 2008 and wish list for apps for 2009 ( a favorite: Road Rage 2009 -first person shooter game for GPS). Thank you Rick, Nick and Randy for putting it together.

Last night, the Detroit Area Adobe User Group met for an informal holiday gather. Lots of pizza, a download of MAX 2008, talk about Papervision, CF, Bolt and big excitement for FP10 on mobile. There were several younger developers just getting into Flash, Flex and ColdFusion. Thank you Terry and Mike, the co-managers.

Now Michigan has settled into a Winter storm with tons of snow, cold, shoveling and outdoor activities. The two get-togethers were a nice way to wind down the year in the User Group communities and set the pace for a fun, educational and inspiring 2009.

"Mark went out of his way to give a "real-world" talk on project management that was motivating and informational. Several of our group member filled up notebooks with great tips and takeaways from Mark's talk. I would highly recommend Mark for any discussion on Project Management and his talk is great for any audience."
