Jonathan Campos is doing an awesome Sunday hands-On session covering AIR for Android. If you’re looking to get into Mobile, you don’t want to miss this half-day session covering everything you need to know to build kick ass Android apps with AIR.
As always the Sunday Hands-On training is included in the price of 360|Flex. Unlike most events we don’t think you should pay for additional training!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: I’ve been working with Fx since the beginning of Fx2. And I haven’t wanted to look back since.
I don’t think many Flex developers, ever look back. Flex offers too much great stuff to bother looking for alternatives.
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: What I like most about Fx is the new skinning model. No longer do I need to make a hundred crazy custom components. Just one and skin it to interact and look however I want.
Yeah I think Flex 4 adds a ton of great features to make building Flex Apps even better. Skinning is a huge plus!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A: I’m definitely going to hit up Ben’s Push Button 101 presentation after mine on Sunday. Wanting to see more of that!
Yeah we’re really excited to see more Flex folks get into gaming. There’s so much to be done there, even in non game applications. Nate Beck is also doing a session around PBE, worth checking out!
Q: What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: I’m always a fan of the late night drinking and geeking out. I love talking about Flex with my good friend Jack (Daniels).
LOL I think Jack has a lot of friends at 360|Flex. Should be a great time!
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: Robots. Definitely. Because when they get better we can make Ninja Robots. And when they realize they disobey the 3 laws our demise will just be a bit faster.
Yeah i fear the day we face Ninja Robots. That’s truly the end of us :)
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: Performance and mobile development. I know it isn’t always easy to performance optimize, but keep trying! I am extremely happy with what can be done with skinning, so the only thing left is to make it run better.
Agreed, I don’t think there’s ever a time to stop working on performance improvements. There’s always something that can work faster, better or smarter than it currently does.
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: As always I need to hang out with my buddies Nate Beck and Jun Heider.
Awesome! Both great guys! I can’t wait to see what Nate has planned in his ongoing battle with Doug! So long as it doesn’t get taken too far :)
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: This is the best place for in depth Flex knowledge. There are lots of great conferences out there, but this is the one where the A listers really open up and share the knowledge. And if you are new to the community, this is an easy way to get plugged in – just join up with the group for drinks after the main stuff is over.
We couldn’t agree more! There’s a lot of options out there, but we think 360|Flex is the ONLY choice when looking to elevate your game. If you want to leave at the end of the conference more excited than ever about Flex and AIR. 360|Flex is the place! Register now! Don’t forget to stay at the Hilton!!!
