For the next four weeks, I will be conducting a series of four Adobe Connect sessions through Columbus Digital, Columbus’ Official Adobe User Group. These sessions will focus not on ActionScript or Flex Development itself, but rather on ancillary skills and tools important to Application Architects and Developers who want to get into serious Flex application development.

The topics will be as follows:

• October 5th- Flex and Subversion
• October 12th- MVC Frameworks and Cairngorm
• October 19th- Unit Testing with FlexUnit
• October 26th- Automating Application Compilation and Deployment with Ant
