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)

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

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 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.
