360Flex – Speaker Tyler Wright
Posted on | September 2, 2010 | 1 Comment
If there were wonder twins of the Flex community it’s the Wright brothers! (Let’s not dwell on which on is Jayna)
Whether working on Reflex (Wednesday at 2:50) or something else awesome, Jac and Tyler are always up to something cool!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: In Flex? since Flex 2 and ActionScript 3 first came out – 3, 4 years now? In Flash? Eight wonderful years! ;)
Nice. A Flash convert :)
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: I love the ease of Binding and the MXML workflow in all it’s state-filled, style-enhanced glory!
Yeah there’s so much that looks hard, but is easy and impressive about Flex. It’s great for building really kick ass things that normally might not be worth the effort!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A:
Q: What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: The city is choice, the sessions are exciting, but I am most excited for the amazing concentration of Flex talent I can associate with at 360|Flex DC. There are some seriously talented devs presenting & attending and, as devs tend to be, they are surprisingly down-to-earth and happy to talk to anyone about cool coding and upcoming projects.
So true. If there’s someone who’s helped you out on Flexcoders, or elsewhere, they’re likely speaking at 360|Flex, and if not, will be in the audience!
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: Ha haaa … my preference on ninjas or robots will be revealed in the concluding session of 360|Flex DC: A Component Set Called Reflex. You don’t want to miss this presentation, or the results of the timeless question of ninjas vs robots.
NICE! Well played, and now I can’t wait (I was already excited about the session!!) to see the session!
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: Besides seeing it “become more like Reflex” :P (not really true), I’d like to see the Flex Framework continue to grow more compatible with Flash and AS3 libraries and workflows. Though not an insignificant task, unifying the Flex and Flash community will go a long way in strengthening the Flash Platform and its ecosystem. Which task becomes more and more important as other technologies try and defame our work.
Very very true! No small task, but one worth undertaking!
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: Is there someone I’m not excited to see at 360|Flex DC is a more pertinent question. I’m sad my brother Jacob won’t be making this conference, and John Lindquist has been conferenced-out this year as well. But it will be great to connect again with the wise Ben Stucki, the seemingly ritalin-induced Jesse Warden, the not-a-bum Jesse Freeman, David Ortinau, Nate Beck, Bruno Fonzi, Paul Robertson just to name a few. Um, mostly John Wilker, that goes without saying of course…
It does go without saying but it’s nice to hear nonetheless!! And yeah the conference is pretty much a who’s who of the Flash Flex community.
Q: Lastly, what would you tell someone who was on the fence or hadn’t heard (I know, they’re out there though) of 360|Flex to get them to come?
A: 360|Flex is an investment with the highest return on personal growth in this industry. Between highly educational sessions and talented peers you’ll befriend your work will become more productive and your knowledge well-rounded as you explore for 3 days the areas of your work you didn’t know existed. Don’t miss this conference, don’t miss the experience, the fun, the learning and the growth. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention how much fun it is, 3 straight days of geeking out without deadlines or distractions.
Agreed! The return on Investment is huge, and we try to make sure that point get’s across! If you’re looking to get a new job, get a promotion, get new projects, or just get new knowledge, there’s no place else you’ll get it. Don’t miss out on this much awesome! Go Register! Do it now!

Aaron Boushley will be joining Ben Garney talking about the Push Button Engine. Gaming is (as you may or may not know) huge. Flash gaming has been around since the dinosaurs, and Flex is getting more and more prevalent in the space.

360Flex – Speaker Samer Sadek
Posted on | August 31, 2010 | No Comments
This 360|Flex will be Samer’s first time presenting and we’re happy to have him. It’s always great to have new people in the community step up to present. Whether new to presenting or simply new to presenting at 360|Flex, it’s always fun to meet new people who’ve decided to share what they know with the community.
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: 3 years
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: Flex allows us to easily create a rich presentation layer to our applications. The Flex framework provides the components to build stateful clients that enhance the user experience. Also the fact that Flex communicates easily with ColdFusion is a big plus for me.
Couldn’t agree more! The CF to Flex integration is killer! Obviously both being Adobe helps, but anyone looking to start from scratch, go CF and Flex, you won’t be sorry!!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A: If I had to choose just one, it would be Michael Labriola’s talk, “Flex 4 Components from the Firehose.”
Mike Never disappoints. It’s always amazing to see him present. He’s one of the most knowledgable developers I know, plus he’s an all around awesome guy!
Q:What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: The fact that it is in DC. Flex is a big resource for the government, and this will be a chance to shine a spotlight on the Flex community in this area and the work they are doing.
We’re really excited about being in DC and coming to the east coast finally. It’s gonna be an awesome event, the best the east coast has seen, just wait and see!
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: I know this is my setup to say something funny and witty, but I have nothing.
Robots don’t laugh, so it’s ok.
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: Flex 4 and Flash Builder fulfilled most of my wishes. I guess a faster compiler would be nice. If this would include AIR, it would allow for a better offline/online synchronization process.
Off/online sync would be awesome if improved! It’s nice now, but there’s so much room for improvement, and that’s such an awesome and powerful feature!
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: Everybody from our Capital Area Flex User Group
Awesome! Hope to see them there!
Q: Lastly, what would you tell someone who was on the fence or hadn’t heard (I know, they’re out there though) of 360|Flex to get them to come?
A: You should. The sessions levels vary from intro to expert, so you will learn a lot. 360|Flex is a great opportunity to mingle with other developers from all levels, find out where the technology is going, and learn about what is the latest and greatest in the Flex world.
Well said! You can’t get this kind of stuff anywhere else. Sure you can get some of it somewhere, but you’ll never get this collection of sessions from this collection of community experts, ANYWHERE. Register now, don’t miss this 1 of a kind east coast event!
