Calling All Nerds – Flex Camp on July 27

Posted on 5 July, 2007 at 3:27pm with no comments

There are times where I reject my nerd-dom, and then there are times where I embrace it. I am making a concerted effort to put increased emphasis on the design in my design technology title. Still, I am greatly looking forward to going to the Flex Camp hosted by Adobe on July 27. The event is free and I have no doubt that I will learn a tremendous amount about all the Flex 3 has to offer. Additionally, there are many nuances to Flex that I have yet to pick up on – thus, I will take advantage of any free learning conference I get in.

If you are interested in Flex, and are in the San Francisco Bay Area on Friday, July 27, you really should sign up for the event. Once again, it is completely free and you will learn a whole lot.
