In addition to discussing the various open source libraries out there, he'll be showing how you can implement them in your own Flex projects. Should be a can't-miss event.

A couple of notes about getting there:
The main building door is closed after hours. There will be somebody there to open it for you, but if you are late, please call 949-474-1763 so that somebody can come down and open it.
There is a special elevator that goes only to the second floor. You need to take that one. It is on the right if you come from the back door, on the left if you come from the front.
You can park on the back of the building. There is no parking fee after hours.
