On May 14th, we will be having our monthly Flex Users Group meeting.  We will be talking about building Better Help Engines.  Have you ever visited a website with a complex input form that just confused you?  Sometimes there will be an online help system, and if you are lucky, a way to chat with a representative.  We will be showing you how to build your own system so that your customer support group can see what your customers are experiencing, and allow them to help your customers through your application.

The meeting will be held in room 161 Communication Arts and Sciences, on the campus of Michigan State University.  The meeting will start at 7pm, and should be broadcast and recorded (contact Nick for more information on the live streaming).

On April 9th, 2009 Ryan Stewart an Evanglist from Adobe, and a columnist from ZDNet will be visiting us at the Michigan Flex Users Group on the campus of Michigan State University.  Ryan will be talking to us about Flash Catalyst, a new, unreleased product from Adobe that will be used to prototype Flex and RIAs.  We may also get a preview of what is coming up with the next version of Flex (codename Gumbo).

The Flex Group will be providing a light meal, and we will be going out for drinks after the meeting.

We will be meeting on the campus of Michigan State University, in 1281 Anthony Hall, promptly at 7pm.  This is NOT our normal location.
