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 – The Charity Code Jam is On!
Want to build an app for a great Charity? Want to do something bigger than you? The 360|Flex Charity Code Jam is a great way to do that!! Thanks to Adrian Pomillio for pushing forward and locking in the details.
Check out the full details here. For those that don’t know here’s how the Charity Code Jam works.
Monday morning at the keynote we kick off the Jam. We’ve got a room in the hotel, and from Monday morning until Wednesday morning anyone who wants to help simply shows up and contributes code, mentorship, DB skills, design, whatever is needed. The Game Jam doesn’t stop for breakfast or dinner, and often attendees who participate, aren’t seen until its done.
