Northern Colorado Web Developer, Flash, and Flex User Groups
- Fort Collins Internet Pros
This group is for web professionals of all types - designers, developers, programmers, marketers and search engine specialists in Northern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming. Aspiring web pros are also welcome. This Meetup group provides a great opportunity to get to know other professionals in our vibrant industry north of Denver. - RMAUG: Rocky Mountain Adobe Users Group
This is a fantastic group, meets monthly, great for meeting other developers and learning more about Adobe Flash, and all aspects of web development. I learn something useful at every session. Sponsored by Real Eyes Media , home to some of the best Flash developers you'll ever meet. - RMAUG Forums: Message board for the Rocky Mountain Adobe Users Group
- Denver RIA Developers Group (formerly the Colorado Flash and Flex developers Meetup)
Another great user group focused primarily on Adobe Flex and AIR development. - Denver web design and programming Meetup
Another good group for networking and asking questions about web development. A bit more informal than the two groups above, and attended by developers, programmers and designers with a wide range of interests. - {re}fresh Denver
In their own words:Refresh Denver hopes to bring people together to share what they know through software and technology demonstrations, panel discussions, and open-ended Q&A sessions - driven by your creativity, knowledge and experience - we hope to bring members of the Denver Metro Area web community together to talk shop, have some fun, and strengthen the community in the process.

- Ignite Fort Collins: If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers.

Books
Rosenfeld Media publishes compelling books on web development, partiularly on usability. I've just ordered WEB FORM DESIGN: Filling in the Blanks. Sounds quite good! I'll report back after reading it.
