Keith MacDonaldI was actually expecting something a bit more advanced - I know that it was sort of the "first" meeting etc. but I suspect that most people who have joined the users group already know the real basics (I might be wrong of course). I hope that a future meetup can start to explore some more "best practices" etc. since this is a new platform. The audio for the webcast was rough at the beginning but was very good for the remainder. The video of the presentation was not ideal - we really couldn't read what was being presented but I know this is a difficult thing to handle.

Alan CarwileA couple people asked about JavaFX versus Flex and other UI development methods. A key developer challenge is to be ready to compare/contra
st and be productive with the myriad range of methods (Swing, JavaFX, Flex, Lasszlo, Javascript, dynamic HTML, etc. etc.). I'd like this group to help me learn about talks on other technologies as well.
