Silicon Valley Flex User Group (SilvaFUG)

This Bay Area meetup is for all the Flex, Flash, and AIR junkies working on Flex apps or want to get involved in Flex on the Flash Platform. The idea is to get together, network and share experiences, designs, components, best practices, learn something new and so forth.

We have a strong relationship with the Adobe development teams and Evangelists who frequently present at our monthly sessions in San Jose and San Francisco.
