360Flex – Session – Flex AJAX Bridge

As much as we’d all love it to be the case, legacy apps are out there, hiding in the shadows of the NOC, lurking in racks, and in old beige box servers. They’re out there.

Luckily legacy apps don’t have to be your bane. With the Flex-AJAX bridge you can still make use of a Flex RIA and your legacy software. Adrian Pomilio will be talking about just that in his session ‘Flex Ajax Bridge and Legacy Applications’

A hands on session where you will learn how to work with the Flex Ajax Bridge and create Flex applications from the safety of JavaScript. ” Why would I want to do this,” you say.  Well your boss just explained that you need to integrate Flex into a legacy application and the developers supporting the application only know JavaScript.  Uh oh, well never fear this is where the Flex Ajax Bridge comes into play.  Basic JavaScript knowledge is required and familiarity with Flex is recommended.

It’s a hands on session so make sure to bring your laptop and your questions. No note taking on your glare-friendly yellow notebook.  Oh no, instead you’re gonna learn some stuff and take code home with you!

Time and space are running out, REGISTER NOW for the best and most advanced Flex and AIR conference in the world. Seriously, we mean it, we’ve been around the world and we know :) You’ll get no better Flex, AIR, and AS content anywhere.

360Flex session: Flex Application Profiling by Example

Jun’s the man! It’s been our pleasure to have him present at other 360|Flex events on memory management and now profiling your application. Jun know’s his stuff, there’s no doubt about that.

Jun’s got an awesome presentation style, he’s hilarious to watch and listen to, and like I said, knows his stuff! This year he’s speaking about profiling your Flex application.

This session will be light on slides and heavy on demonstration.  The session will start with a brief explanation of the concepts that will be discussed and then kick into high gear with demonstrations and live profiling with the Flex Builder Profiler.  During the session the features of the Flex Builder Profiler will be illustrated and light will be shed on how to analyze the data collected by the Profiler.  The goal of this session will be to arm the attendee with the ability to use the Flex Builder Profiler to help increase the responsiveness and decrease the memory consumed by their applications.

Make sure you don’t miss Jun’s session, ask around about his last preso, it rocked! Don’t miss out! 360|Flex Indy is the only event of it’s calibre in 2009, don’t be fooled by imitators! Register now for the best Flex/AIR/AS conference available!

360Flex Session: The Business Side of Selling Flex/AIR Applications!

David Bigelow from Simplified Logic will be participating in our 360|Flex Business Track. If you’re developing an RIA that you intend to sell, this is the presentation for you.

David is one of the smartest business people I know, and has mentored Tom and I a ton! He knows his stuff. Whether you’ve thought about selling your stuff or not, if you’re building components, apps, whatever, you’ll want to hear what David has to say about selling what you’ve put so much effort into.

Whether you’re an individual marketing Flex/AIR Components to the community or a business developing commercial or enterprise Applications, the core business model you choose and operate under can have a dramatic impact on your success and longevity.  In this session a discussion of various business models will be presented (e.g. Retail, License/Maintenance and Software as a Service) and compared/contrasted for the overhead, liabilities and procedural issues of each business model.  Several case studies will also be presented outlining how simple changes in approach or a full transformation from one business model to another affected the business, customers and end users. As a bonus, a discussion of how licensing can and should be used to facilitate and control the business processes – keeping your revenue stream understood and in control.  This session will be valuable for developers looking to start a business selling their goods/services or for established businesses looking to migrate from conventional to service models.

The Business of Flex track is going to be a must for any developer/consultant/company attending. We’ve got so many awesome topics in that track alone, that the value of attending will be realized with that track alone!
