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 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.
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
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!
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”
