First - excellent Flex presentation Mike. You gave me a lot of ideas and info that looks like it may translate into my next Flex project for work :)
Clint presenting Cairngorm sounds like a great follow up to Mike's initial presentation. Let me know when and I will be there :) Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Tredway Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 9:03 AM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: Re: [DFW CFUG] Great Flex Presentation Mike! the total training is on Flex in general which is good if you do not know anything. I would be happy to provide a lesson on flex/cf interaction... its actually very simple... on an advanced level, I can show how to use the Cairngorm framework along with CF.
