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!
