Looks like Adobe is getting ready to release the official beta of Apollo this month. Dave and I got a great preview of some Apollo features at Max last year. It will be good to see desktop derivatives of the more popular online services popping up soon. (sooner than later, I hope!) And - don’t forget about the mashups! I’m sure the local flash/flex community will be all over this new platform. (Check out my notes from the Max Apollo session)

If you haven’t heard, there’s a new group that was recently put together to compliment the MN Flash User Group, but targeted towards developers: Minnesota Flash/Flex Programmer Group. I’ve considered joining the MN Flash User Group in the past, but assumed it would be more designer-oriented, and I’ve definitely been on the developer end of Flash for many years.
If you’re a Flash or Flex developer, and you’re in the area this December 5th, you should join us for the kickoff meeting for the new programmer group. Check out their calendar for details (you’ll have to navigate to Dec 5) Unless there’s an Act of God, or someone dies, I’ll be there. Don’t forget to RSVP!
