Our third meeting of the MiXD Adobe User Group will take place on Wednesday, April 8th at 6pm at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids. Our special guest will be Ryan Stewart, Adobe Platform Evangelist, who will be introducing us to the upcoming interaction design tool Flash Catalyst (formerly Thermo) and Flex Builder (Gumbo). I personally am pretty charged about the potential of Catalyst to speed up robust prototyping for user testing.

Please join us and RSVP at the following link:
