You can’t see this awesome one of a kind musical show anywhere else! No other [...]
360Flex – Speaker Tyler Wright
If there were wonder twins of the Flex community it’s the Wright brothers! (Let’s not dwell on which on is Jayna)
Whether working on Reflex (Wednesday at 2:50) or something else awesome, Jac and Tyler are always up to something cool!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: In Flex? since Flex 2 and ActionScript 3 first came out – 3, 4 years now? In Flash? Eight wonderful years! ;)
Nice. A Flash convert :)
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: I love the ease of Binding and the MXML workflow in all it’s state-filled, style-enhanced glory!
Yeah there’s so much that looks hard, but is easy and impressive about Flex. It’s great for building really kick ass things that normally might not be worth the effort!
360Flex – Speaker Kevin Hoyt
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 :)
360Flex – Speaker Samer Sadek
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.
360Flex – Speaker Leonard Souza
Leonard Souza has spoken at several 360|Flex about several things, and we’re really happy to have him back in DC speaking about “Flexerific Visual effects” on Tuesday.
Whether you’re a developer at a company with designers or not, this session is a great place to get an idea of how to build out visual effects in Flex, and exactly what is and isn’t possible to do.
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: Since the early days of Flex 2, which was about 4 years ago. I had been a heavy user of flash for years and really needed a stronger development platform.
That seems fairly common, those in the community that were more developer than designer, flocked to Flex from the Flash IDE.
