  • The Adobe User Group of Atlanta
  • The Atlanta ColdFusion User Group
  • The Atlanta Flex User Group
  • The Atlanta Flash Platform User Group
  • The Atlanta XD Users Group
  • The Online ColdFusion Meetup

  • Continuing a long tradition of innovation, Adobe is pushing the boundaries of the Adobe Flash Platform with exciting new releases for Flash, Flex, and ColdFusion designers, developers, and administrators. Join us as Ben Forta, Adobe’s Director of Platform Evangelism, presents the future of ColdFusion, Flex, and more! On the ColdFusion side, Ben will talk about the upcoming releases of ColdFusion (currently known by the code name Centaur) and the highly anticipated first ColdFusion IDE from Adobe (currently known by the code name Bolt). You’ll learn about exciting new features and discover how Centaur and Bolt will accelerate your ColdFusion application development. On the Flex side, Ben will talk about the next release of Flex (currently known by the code name Gumbo). You’ll see product feature demos and learn how Gumbo breaks new ground for not only developers but also designers as it powers the design, development, and testing of rich Internet applications and content. And of course, Ben will explain and demonstrate the power of ColdFusion and the power of Flex working together!

    We are excited to welcome back Adobe's Ben Forta for this presentation; if you have heard Ben present you already know how engaging and informative this presentation will be; if you haven't ever had the pleasure of attending one of Ben's presentations, trust us--you want to be there!
