Did You Know...vol. 4

OK, so it has been awhile since my last post, but sometimes you just get busy!

Lots of good nuggets today, so I am going to dive right in!!

Did you know that:

• Mike Chambers and Lee Brimelow are doing a mini AIR user group tour in Europe? Be sure to check out Mike's most recent blog post for cities and dates. This is going to be a great tour so be sure to check it out if it is coming to a city near you!
• Adobe SF is hosting a RIA Developer Camp on November 5? This will sell out fast, so be sure to register early!
• The Adobe Mobile & Devices user group managers collaborated on a huge Flash Lite mobile game contest? Click here for more information.
• The Pacifica beta was open? Check out Renaun Erickson's blog for more details on what Pacifica is and how to sign up.
• Starting in November, Adobe will be making Flex Builder 2 available to qualified students and educators worldwide at no cost! Check out the press release for additional details.

If you already knew all of the above then you are keeping one step ahead of me!!

Until next time...
