This meetup is for all the Flex 3.0, ActionScrpt 3, MXML, AIR junkies out there who are working on Flex apps, or want to get involved in Flex. The idea is to get together and share experiences and share designs, components, best practices, learn something new and so forth.

Its an opportunity to meet and interact with fellow Flex Developers, find a developer or find a project to work on.
