I would like to thank all that attended the Gateway JUG meeting April 1st, 2008 and especially Jack Frosch for providing the opportunity to speak on the exciting technologies of Adobe Flex and AIR.
I have made my slides available to Jack and he will post a link to them. [You can download a PDF of Jeff's slides here.]
I'd like to provide several links that you may find useful in learning more about Flex.

Finally, I would like to provide links to those companies which helped make my presentation possible and/or offered significant prizes that I was able to give away.
