Michael Labriola is a long time (like from the start!!) supporter of 360|Flex and this time around he’s pulling double duty doing a solo talk (Flex 4 Components from the Firehose) as well as one with his partner in crime Jeff Tapper (Writing Testable code.)Michael helped us out a ton during 360|Flex Europe too, keeping us from international incident, and shepherding us towards awesome meals. He’s a great guy and you shouldn’t miss his sessions!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: 1.0 Alpha and Betas
I remember the Flex 1.x days and the crappy Dreamweaver port called Flex Builder.
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: That I can do whatever I want… With some effort.
So true. Love that the hard stuff is easy, and sometimes a few easy things are hard, but not too often!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A: Anything with Doug gets a vote. Keynote or not.
I can’t wait to see the Monday keynote. Between Christophe talking Mobile AIR, and Doug, talking about well… I don’t know yet, but it’ll be epic.
Q: What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: Trying to make John laugh.
LOL, that’s not hard
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: Ninjas (Bionic ones++)
That’s a scary thought! They’d be stronger, better and faster. HOWEVER they’d make weird noises when they jump, probly give them away.
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: Tests. Interfaces. Decoupled dependencies…. It’s all one thing: architecture.
Fair enough. :) Here’s hoping Flex 5 answers some of that LOL
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: Jessica Biel. She’s coming right?
Damn straight! Just saw her registration come through this morning even.
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: Seriously. If you are committed to learning Flex, there isn’t a better chance. Come. Learn. Get better at what you do. Become a rock star.
Couldn’t agree more!! Whether you’re getting started with Flex, or you’ve been at it for years, you’ll leave DC with more than you came with, we promise! Register now! Don’t forget to book your room at the hotel! It’s gonna be grand!
