360Flex – Speaker – Michael Labriola
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.
360Flex – Signing the Welcome banner
Since the very first 360|Flex, we’ve had a tradition. We hang a nice big banner somewhere everyone can see it. It’s up (usually) on Sunday, and hangs until Tuesday night, when it’s taken down and draped across a table for every attendee to sign.
This tradition, as most do, didn’t start as a tradition, but come the second 360|Flex, Tom and I thought, that the first one was really cool, and made a second one, then a third, forth, and so on.
360Flex – Speaker Antonio Holguin
As the line between developer and designer gets thinner and people start not just crossing back and forth, but also working more closely, 360|Flex has been adding design related talks for the last 2 or so events. It’s cool to hear from designers about Flex, get their thoughts, and see how they’re using and interacting with Flex.
We’re really happy to have Antonio with us!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: First of all, I am a designer. (Don’t laugh. I can hear you laughing.) I primarily work with pretty pictures and stuff. ;) I just started getting into Flex about a year, maybe year and a half ago.
Awesome. We’ll have to update our speaker questions :) But it’s good to see designers taking a more active role in the Flex community. We’re happy to be a part of helping get this trend moving forward more!

That’s it, it’s that easy!

360Flex – Speaker Jun Heider
Jun is not just a kick ass developer, he’s also a great musician!
When you attend 360|Flex DC not only will you have three chances to see jun present (“Large scale apps using RTMFP & Flash Platform” & “Advanced RTMFP” as well as a tech session at lunch on Tuesday about musicians using technology) but you’ll also get to see him perform Monday night at 360|Flex-a-palooza!!
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: I’ve been working regularly with Flex a little over four years now.
It’s amazing how far we’ve come how fast!
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: Flex was a way for me to get into building Flash applications without having to learn the timeline and all the designery aspects of Flash. Not that I didn’t want to, I’m just a coder vs. a designer and Flex makes much more sense to me.
Ha! ditto. I tried my hand at Flash and never could get the timeline and library! Flex was my way to build awesome apps and user experiences beyond HTML/CF.
