Preparation Guide for Hands on Workshop

Flash and the City is next week in New York.  If you are registered and taking the course to learn Flex/AIR mobile development, you will need to do some preparation in advance of walking into the room.  This blog post outlines the steps necessary to be ready on Thursday, June 9.

If you have any trouble with the setup, please send an email to me at dnickull at adobe-dot-com. I also plan to be in the lab room 20 minutes before the session to answer any questions or help out.

See you there! This is going to be the best workshop I have ever had the pleasure of teaching!  An expanded version of this course will be taught at this year's Adobe MAX in Los Angeles.

Sincerely,
Duane Nickull
Adobe Senior Technical Evangelist
