Tired of broad but shallow overviews of HTML5 functionality? Me too. Nathan Mische has built some interesting stuff with HTML5's Web Sockets functionality and ColdFusion Event Gateways, as well as similar functionality in BlazeDS; so I asked him to do a more narrow but deep presentation on just that. I have no idea what to expect, but I'm sure it will be good.

If you can't make it in to town to attend tonight's meeting, you can catch this one on Adobe Connect. All you need is Flash Player and an internet connection. You can also watch via the Adobe Connect app for iPhone, if you're on the go.

The URL for the meeting is: http://experts.na3.acrobat.com/phillycfug/ and we will start shortly after 6:00 Eastern Time.

While the streaming of the presentation will be open to anyone who would like to attend (and feel free to share the URL), you must be present to win any of the raffle prizes, including up to $2,100 in Adobe software.

I hope to see you there, but if you can't make it, we'll see you online.

Reminder: Meeting tomorrow – Technical Debt with Nathan Strutz

Here's your reminder that our next meeting will be tomorrow, Thursday the 19th. Nathan Strutz of the Phoenix CFUG will be presenting on what he calls, "Holistic Program Quality, and Technical Debt" — but I just call "Why and how to make informed decisions about taking shortcuts in your code."

I hope you're planning to attend, because everyone from Newbie to Expert can get a lot out of the presentation. And to top it off, we'll be giving away over $1,000 in free software from Adobe, among other swag.

Reminder: Meeting on TUESDAY

I've updated the original announcement with the room information, but here it is again for your convenience:
