360Flex – Jesse vs. Jesse

First there was the Thrilla in Manilla, then there was Donald vs. Ivanna, and now…..

Make sure you’re in Washington DC this fall, for what surely will go down in the Flash Platform annuls as the most awesome head to head discussion EVER.

The Jesse’s will be going head to head talking about the merits of Flex and ActionScript, and why they think one is better than the other. This talk was born on twitter, quite literally! This is why the Flex community is so damn awesome!

Don’t miss this epic battle of wills, and possible water bottles! Register now, before it’s too late.

360|Flex – The line up – The Schedule

OK. We’re more or less locked down on the schedule. I’ve got a few things to work out, but didn’t want to delay posting the schedule.

So without further ado, you can download the PDF schedule HERE.

We’re probably gonna skip the gCal unless a lot of people really cry out for it. We’ll have the iPhone app, and hopefully android app (Sorry blackberry folks)

Until then, the PDF is what you get.

Oh yeah, take a look at the sponsors page. We’re still getting some pics, and bios, but it’s more or less complete!

Check out the keynoter. In addition to someone from Adobe telling us awesome stuff, Doug is gonna rock our socks off.

Oh and as a small teaser, we’re working on getting the Charity Code Jam back :) More to follow on that, but just wanted to throw it out there :)

360Flex – Wiki

If you saw the announcement of BOF sessions, you know we have a wiki we use for the ad hoc stuff around the conference.

We updated the wiki for one more bit of ad hoc. Activities.

If you’re planning a trip to Adobe HQ or a specific bar one night, or a movie on Wednesday or lunch on Saturday  before the conference, whatever. Post it on the activities page of the wiki.

This way folks looking for the fun, can find it easily ;) It truly does suck to have to hunt for fun :)

On the main page of the wiki is also a few links for hotel searches in the area. If you missed the room block, shame on you, but we don’t want ya sleepin’ on the street, so check those links for other options.

360|Flex – What people are saying about the best conference around

With just two weeks left we thought we’d share what folks have to say about 360|Flex.

Paul Robertson – Talks about seeing people he knows online as well as reconnecting with friends. He also talks about the awesome sessions we have and how he’s not looking forward to choosing between some. “I combed over the whole schedule, and there is literally not a single time slot that I’m not looking forward to. Except the ones where I have to choose from two or three awesome-sounding presentations. Frankly, what I’m not looking forward to about 360|Flex is that I’ll have to choose not to attend some sessions that I’m really anxious to see.

Dan Florio – lists off all of the sessions he’s eager to see, and even complains of a common problem with 360|Flex; having too many sessions too choose from. It’s a problem we’re happy to have :)

Those are just two, of the many blog posts written about 360|Flex.
