Hey all, pending approval from Devry we’re going to push February’s meeting back until Monday, February 9th. It kind of snuck up on us this month, although we have a few things planned.

In our December Meeting we gave out a few books from Manning for some members of the community to review. Below is the first of these, a review of Adobe Air in Action by Darryl Ho. If you’re interested in reviewing an Adobe related book for us that’s put out by one of the [...]
