Tampa Jvm User Group

The Year Started off Great!
Thank you to all of you who came out to see James Ward of Adobe System. Here is a wrap up of that meeting if you missed it:

• The meeting was well-attended with close to 40 people showed up (it was tight in that room, some ended up standing).


• There were plenty to eat from our food sponsor KForce.


• We intended to start at 7.00 pm. However, James' flight was delayed and ended starting at 8.00.


• Pretty much everyone waited around for James while we filled up the hour with talk about the Group, Java technologies, and one attendee (Cameron Ingram) showed us how he's using JBoss Seam and Flex. Cameron is presenting at JBoss World !!!


• When James finally arrived, he quickly ramped and covered many topics about Flex and the desktop runtime environment called AIR.


• James ended taking the group to Wing House for beer and food (about 15 of us went and had a great time there).


• This has got to be one of the best meeting yet despite the late start!!!!

Special Thanks

Stay tuned for our meeting announcement for next month!
