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.

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 – Speaker Ben Stucki
We’ve known Ben Stucki forever, or at least it seems like it! He’s been a great supporter of 360|Flex, especially when it comes to advice on making the event better!
Ben is a great developer, who’s finally launched his own business, and is working on making awesome products with Flex and AIR. I can’t wait to be toasting his success! We need more developers building awesome tools with Flex and AIR.
Q: How long have you been working with Flex?
A: Since Flex 2 Alpha. So, forever.
Yeah Flex 1.x SO doesn’t count. That was a nightmare!
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: When a client asks, “Can we do X?”, I get to say yes
That’s definitely an awesome feeling. It’s always great when you don’t have to try to explain why the client should try a different approach, but can simply say, “Sure, that’s totally doable”
