360Flex 2011 – Session details posted

February 2, 2011 By

So you’ve downloaded the schedule right? Now you can download the session details doc!

If you’re not impressed by this line up… well I don’t know what would impress you :)

This is a truly bad ass line up! It’s hard to not get excited when I see the names and details for this line up! There’s a lot of conferences out there, A LOT! But I think you’ll agree this is a pretty diverse line up, not just “the regular folks who present every time” which is really part of what (I think) makes 360|Flex so great! Who wants to see the same people every time giving the next version of the talk they gave last time, etc. BORING!

Remember also! Pre-Conference training, is FREE! Included in the price of your ticket! We’ve been doing it for years, and it’s still pretty much un heard of! Why pay extra? Check out the Sunday options!

Check out the details, check out the schedule then go get your ticket!

360Flex – Speaker Kevin Hoyt

August 31, 2010 By

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 :)
Q: What do you like most about Flex?
A: Productivity.
Agreed. It’s hard to argue that you can’t whip up some truly awesome apps in short order. Sure big projects take a while, but if you need a tool that shows videos as a demo reel app for your business, it’s cake, and that’s where Flex shines. Big apps all take time, but the small things, those are where you want to excel, and Flex does!
Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?
A: Flexerific Visual Effects, Leonard Souza
That should be a good one! Flex comes with so much great stuff packed into the framework, but even better, you can take it in your own directions!
Q: What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?
A: Location. Location. Location.
DC is an awesome city! We’re so excited to come to the east coast. There’s so much great Flexing taking place!
Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?
A: Ninjas that build robots.
Unionized Ninjas? Great, now I’m gonna have nightmares!
Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?
A: Size matters – make it smaller.
You mean like Reflex? :) There’s a session for that :)
Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?
A: Denver representing!
Denver, and CO in general will be representing big time!
Q: Lastly, what would you tell someone who was on the fence or hadn’t heard (I know, they’re out there though) of 360|Flex to get them to come?
A: MAX is a great all-around Adobe conference. FITC is design inspiration. If you want to go deep on Flex, then 360 is where it is at!
That’s a great point! There’s tons of events, and they’re all awesome in their way. 360|Flex is the one to come to if you’re looking to go deep with Flex. No fluffy marketing “what’s new” sessions here, it’s advanced, and it’s gonna send you home more knowledgable than you arrived!!!
Don’t miss out on the only exclusively Flex/AIR/ActionScript event in the world, yes world! Register now!

360Flex – Speaker Samer Sadek

August 31, 2010 By

This 360|Flex will be Samer’s first time presenting and we’re happy to have him. It’s always great to have new people in the community step up to present. Whether new to presenting or simply new to presenting at 360|Flex, it’s always fun to meet new people who’ve decided to share what they know with the community.

Q: How long have you been working with Flex?

A: 3 years

Q: What do you like most about Flex?

A: Flex allows us to easily create a rich presentation layer to our applications.  The Flex framework provides the components to build stateful clients that enhance the user experience.  Also the fact that Flex communicates easily with ColdFusion is a big plus for me.

Couldn’t agree more! The CF to Flex integration is killer! Obviously both being Adobe helps, but anyone looking to start from scratch, go CF and Flex, you won’t be sorry!!

Q: What 1 session are you most excited about seeing at 360|Flex DC?

A: If I had to choose just one, it would be Michael Labriola’s talk, “Flex 4 Components from the Firehose.”

Mike Never disappoints. It’s always amazing to see him present. He’s one of the most knowledgable developers I know, plus he’s an all around awesome guy!

Q:What about 360|Flex DC are you most excited about?

A: The fact that it is in DC.  Flex is a big resource for the government, and this will be a chance to shine a spotlight on the Flex community in this area and the work they are doing.

We’re really excited about being in DC and coming to the east coast finally. It’s gonna be an awesome event, the best the east coast has seen, just wait and see!

Q: Do you prefer ninjas or robots?

A: I know this is my setup to say something funny and witty, but I have nothing.

Robots don’t laugh, so it’s ok.

Q: What is one thing you’d like to see improved in the Flex Framework?

A: Flex 4 and Flash Builder fulfilled most of my wishes. I guess a faster compiler would be nice. If this would include AIR, it would allow for a better offline/online synchronization process.

Off/online sync would be awesome if improved! It’s nice now, but there’s so much room for improvement, and that’s such an awesome and powerful feature!

Q: Is there someone you’re hoping to see at 360|Flex DC?

A: Everybody from our Capital Area Flex User Group

Awesome! Hope to see them there!

Q: Lastly, what would you tell someone who was on the fence or hadn’t heard (I know, they’re out there though) of 360|Flex to get them to come?

A: You should.  The sessions levels vary from intro to expert, so you will learn a lot. 360|Flex is a great opportunity to mingle with other developers from all levels, find out where the technology is going, and learn about what is the latest and greatest in the Flex world.

Well said! You can’t get this kind of stuff anywhere else. Sure you can get some of it somewhere, but you’ll never get this collection of sessions from this collection of community experts, ANYWHERE. Register now, don’t miss this 1 of a kind east coast event!
