The Flash Lite Developer Challenge is the leading competition for developers working with Flash Lite. The competition challenges three groups of developers: 1. those currently working with Flash Lite, 2. Flash developers interested in developing applications for mobile devices, 3. mobile application developers interested in using Flash Lite. If you belong to one of these groups and you are a company or an individual, a professional or a researcher, you can enter the competition in one of the five categories, get access to great tools from Adobe and stand a chance of winning one of the great cash prizes and promotional packages from the sponsors (including Adobe). The competition is open to developers worldwide (with just a few exceptions, see the rules). The deadline for entries is May 31st, 2009, and winners will be announced June 17th, 2009.

I'll be in Tampa next week, and will use the opportunity to speak to the Tampa ColdFusion User Group and the Tampa Flash, Flex and AIR Developers Group. Fellow Platform Evangelists Greg Wilson and Kevin Hoyt will be there too, and will also be presenting. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 at 6pm in the Atrium of the Art Institutes of Tampa.
