JSUG meets Alpenflash

This time we will have the Flash usergroup Alpenflash as a guest which also discusses the Flex technology from time to time.

Connecting Java with Actionscript via BlazeDS was already presented in an earlier meeting...

With version 3, Actionscript has become a powerful OOP language and had overcome Java's power in some certain areas (e.g.: functions as first class citizens). So it is certainly worth giving it a try...
