I just saw where the Connecticut ColdFusion User Group has their next meeting coming up on Monday and I wanted to comment on the topic of that meeting, Integrating ColdFusion and BlazeDS, which will be presented by Aaron West. I have been fortunate enough to see this presentation by Aaron in person, and let me tell you, you do not want to miss it! Even if you currently have no need for BlazeDS/CF integration, you will want to see this presentation. Aaron does an excellent job of showing just how dead simple this processes is, and it really got the gears in my head turning.

Trust me, when his presentation is over you'll be thinking about all of the cool little apps you can build with this stuff.

In my ongoing attempts to learn Flex, I decided that I wanted to build an AIR RSS reader for my blog. Not that there's anyone out there who would actually want an RSS reader for my blog, but I figured this would be a good little "hello world" app to help me get into Flex and AIR. You can find my RSS reader in the downloads section.
