The Flash Builder 4 Show with Adobe's Duane Nickull

On WEDNESDAY, May 5th, 2010, Adobe's own code rockstar is pulling into town to showcase the highly anticipated release of Flash Builder 4:

"A meeting by developers for developers to see the new Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 features from Adobe. Adobe evangelist Duane Nickull will walk through the new Spark architecture and other changes in Flex 4 components as well as take a deep dive into many of the new features in Flash Builder 4. Most of the night will be spent with code and code samples will be handed out after."

This is great opportunity to chew the fat with one of Adobe's own, network with your local community, and enjoy some sweet, sweet nectar on Adobe's tab (while supplies last).
