On Tuesday, December 9th, 2008, we will be hosting our annual Christmas Party.  This will be a joint meeting with our sister group, the Mid-Michigan ColdFusion Users Group. Our December meeting will NOT have a normal presentation, however we will have a casual dinner with pizza.  The meeting will be held at the Pizza House, located in Hanna Plaza, just north of Hannah Blvd and Haggadorn Ave., in East Lansing.  

Have a project that you are proud of?   Want to show off one of your new products?   Have some questions for the group?   As long as you don't mind talking about it with pizza in your mouth, it's all open!

If your business would like to help sponsor some of the pizza, please contact Nick Kwiatkowski at nick@theFlexGroup.org for more information.

On November 6th (which is the 1st Thursday of November), we will be doing a meeting on "Back to the Flex Basics".  We will be building a basic application from scratch, and showing all the steps that you need to build a simple application.  We will be building a CRUD form (data input form), and a simple Twitter client.  

This will be an interactive session, so please bring your Laptop if you have one.  

The meeting will begin promptly at 7pm, and we welcome everybody from the Newbie's all the way to experts.  The meeting will be held in room 161 ComArts, on the campus of Michigan State University.

We will also be doing our big software giveaway.  Like to be on the latest version of Adobe's Creative Suite?  Come on by and win a copy!!
