With the rise of Flex as a developers platform, all this talk of RIAs, and Flash continuing to grow strong, I think its time Perth had a Flash meetup again. So after talking with Matt Voermann (previous MMUG & Flash Platform Users Group Manager, now Sydney-based) and John Koch (Adobe Developer Relations Manager for Asia Pacific) I have organised the first meeting to include Kai Koenig while he is here for Edge of the Web conference.
Why the name ? Even though I am primarily a Flex developer, I decided to use Flash and not Flex in the name. Flash is the vernacular name for anything that runs in the Flash Player, and when I mention Flex, most web developers don't know what I'm talking about. There are also the old school ActionScript programmers to include, and I think the word "Developers" makes it clear that its more aimed at coders than designers, but of course pure (and impure!) designers are more than welcome.
