Have you met Kevin Hoyt? Not only is he super tall, he’s an awesome guy, beer and cigar lover, and Adobe Flex evangelist! Yup that’s right, if you want to ask him anything, he can answer it! Because he’s that great, and more awesome!
Kevin is another long time supporter of 360|Flex. Ever wanted to see an AIR app dispense beer with RFID sensors? Kevin’s done it!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: Since Royale (code name of Flex).
Royale with cheese? Ah Macro… Adobe code names, gotta love ‘em. If you’re not familiar with the code name royale, well let’s say there wasn’t a code name before that. I think :)
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: Productivity.
Agreed. It’s hard to argue that you can’t whip up some truly awesome apps in short order. Sure big projects take a while, but if you need a tool that shows videos as a demo reel app for your business, it’s cake, and that’s where Flex shines. Big apps all take time, but the small things, those are where you want to excel, and Flex does!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A: Flexerific Visual Effects, Leonard Souza
That should be a good one! Flex comes with so much great stuff packed into the framework, but even better, you can take it in your own directions!
Q: What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: Location. Location. Location.
DC is an awesome city! We’re so excited to come to the east coast. There’s so much great Flexing taking place!
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: Ninjas that build robots.
Unionized Ninjas? Great, now I’m gonna have nightmares!
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: Size matters – make it smaller.
You mean like Reflex? :) There’s a session for that :)
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: Denver representing!
Denver, and CO in general will be representing big time!
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: MAX is a great all-around Adobe conference. FITC is design inspiration. If you want to go deep on Flex, then 360 is where it is at!
That’s a great point! There’s tons of events, and they’re all awesome in their way. 360|Flex is the one to come to if you’re looking to go deep with Flex. No fluffy marketing “what’s new” sessions here, it’s advanced, and it’s gonna send you home more knowledgable than you arrived!!!
