Aaron Boushley will be joining Ben Garney talking about the Push Button Engine. Gaming is (as you may or may not know) huge. Flash gaming has been around since the dinosaurs, and Flex is getting more and more prevalent in the space.There’s a few sessions for those looking to explore game creation and theory, don’t miss out if you’re interest in this.
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: 1 year
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: The cross-platform cross-browser compatability
Hard to argue with that. HTML has a ton of promise, but with so many browsers, we’re still very far from ubiquity in the way an app works from one browser to the next. Flex/Flash is still the best way to ensure a uniform experience across browsers!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A: Doug McCune’s Keynote should be funny ;) … I hope the content is good too.
LOL I can promise that the content will overshadow whatever comes out of Doug’s keynote no matter how awesome it is. And it WILL be awesome I can promise!
Q: What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: Seeing everyone again!
Seeing everyone is a huge plus!! It’s great to be able to bring together the best and brightest as well as all the people we know online, etc.
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: Ninjas
Ninjas rock.
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: More transparency with what the Flex team is doing on the Framework.
That’d be nice. We’d love to see the openness that Flex deserves.
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: Nate Beck… its a family thing.
mmm Inteerresting. :)
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: It is by far the best conference surrounding Flex. You learn more from the few days at this conference than I’ve learned in the last 3 years of my Computer Science degree.
Well there you go. If you’ve been reading any of these speaker posts, you’ve picked up on a theme. 360|Flex is the literally the best (only IMO) source for this type of content!!
Great discussion, Useful for me because i am working such related project. It guides me a lot.
