SYS-CON Events announced the first event in the "Real-World Flex" One-Day Seminar series (www.flexseminar.com) will take place on August 14, 2006, at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

Adobe Systems is the Event Partner and Cynergy Systems is the Platinum Sponsor and will also be presenting a session entitled "Front to Back Development - Designing and Building Better Flex Apps". Exhibit opportunities are still available.  Real-World Flex Sponsors and Exhibitors are companies in the vanguard of developing Flex-based RIA suites for commerce. They will be showcasing their offerings or beta releases to the fast-building audience of developers and IT managers who are right now exploring and comparing such Rich Internet Apps.

From the same company that brought you the most pervasive software in the history of the Internet - Adobe's Macromedia® Flash®, -comes another revolutionary solution to create even more powerful and intuitive user experiences: Adobe's® Flex® 2 is a complete, powerful application development solution for creating and delivering cross-platform rich internet applications (RIAs), within the enterprise and across the Web.

Not until now has there been a way for enterprise programmers and architects to work with existing tools of choice, familiar programming models and integration with existing systems and infrastructure. Client-side processing, direct manipulation and data visualization are all key factors in the Adobe Flex solution.

The "Real-World Flex" One-Day Seminar will delve deep into the central workings of Adobe Flex so that the seminar delegates can integrate this timely new technology into their applications. Delegates will learn from both the experts who created Adobe Flex, as well as leading developers who are using it to the business benefit of their employers, their customers and the Web.

The seminar theme is "Next-Generation Application Development with Flex." The program promises to deliver a uniquely powerful program which will appeal to anyone who wants to be right on the leading edge of Rich Internet Application development.
