Robotlegs training at 360|Flex DC
I’m presenting at the upcoming 360|Flex conference in Washington D.C., Sept. 19. (Yes, that’s in less than 3 weeks!) This time I’m very excited to be doing a training session on Robotlegs as part of the pre-conference training.
If you’ve got some ActionScript and Flex experience and you want to learn to use Robotlegs to build […]

Slides, examples, and links: Developing iPhone apps with the Flash Platform
Last week I gave a presentation at 360|Flex 2010 (San Jose) on “Developing iPhone apps with the Flash Platform.” As always, I wanted to make my slides, notes, reference links, and example code available to those who were there and those who couldn’t make it:

Thoughts on multi-screen, multi-context app development
Around 8 months ago I was asked to start thinking about the now emerging (particularly from a Flash Platform perspective) world of multi-screen application development. What are issues to consider? What guidance should we offer?
It turns out that my thinking on that topic isn’t going to become anything in the Adobe documentation. So I’ve sort […]

“Adobe AIR data privacy and security” - slides, notes, links
On May 20, 2009 at the 360|Flex conference in Indianapolis I gave a presentation titled “Adobe AIR data privacy and security.” As I always do (and after a bit of a delay), here are the slides from my presentation. I’ve added fairly lengthy notes to the slides (I had to make the font smaller so […]

A busy (and exciting) May for the Flex community
In case you’ve missed the announcements, the month of May feels like it’s overflowing with community events. Here’s what’s on my schedule so far for May 2009 (And I strongly endorse these. With the possible exception of the third one =):
SilvaFUG North (SF) May meeting (May 12): This is basically a pre-event for FlashCamp, with […]

360|Flex slides for “AIR SQLite: An optimization conversation”
Updates (Oct. 30, 2008): The video of my presentation has been posted, so I added a link to it at the bottom of this post. Also, I just learned about another AIR-based SQLite admin tool which looks interesting, so I added it to the list of resources even though it’s obviously not discussed in the […]

Wow. I go on vacation and come back to find that I someone has been impersonating me. How did I discover this horrible fact? The 360 Flex folks posted an interview with me, but I sure don’t remember meeting up with them. What’s more, the alleged interview takes place in a Starbucks, and I don’t ever remember going into a Starbucks before. (At least my imposter did his homework enough to know that I don’t drink coffee.)
Okay, so I did know that they interviewed me (although in my memory it didn’t happen at Starbucks), and those are in fact my answers to their questions. (I actually wish they had reformatted them a bit. I think they are a bit tough to understand as they appear in the post but I didn’t realize the context in which the answers would be presented.) In any case it’s quite a silly read, and the other speaker interviews they’ve posted are even funnier. Poor Tom sure puts up with a lot of heckling from John.
Although I’ve never been to 360 Flex before, I’ve always wanted to go. I was fortunate enough to get chosen as a speaker — hopefully my presentation will turn out well enough that they’ll let me come back again =). And I definitely meant it when I said that there are so many presentations I’m looking forward to, that there was no way I could limit my list to just two!
Oh, and I suppose I should make two small corrections. One, i haven’t actually started working on my slides/presentation content for 360 Flex yet (oops!). Two, as of now I’m not planning to include any stick figures in my presentation. That’s not to say I never have, however =)
P.S. I know the issue of identity theft is a real one, and a very serious one. In fact a couple of weeks ago I thought I might had been a victim of identity theft (expected bills and checks were missing from my mail) and it was very disturbing. So please don’t take my joke about someone impersonating me as a sign that I don’t think identity theft is a real, serious issue!
Slides and files for “AIR, Windows, Menus, and the System Tray”
As I’ve mentioned before, a couple of weeks ago at the Webmaniacs conference I presented a session titled “Adobe AIR: Windows, Menus, and the System Tray” (and I also presented the same material in a partially different form over the course of two SilvaFUG meetings. The presentation covers those three aspects of Adobe AIR, specifically […]

Upcoming presentations on AIR Windows, Menus, and the System Tray
I have a couple of presentations coming up soon, and I haven’t been getting word out as much as I probably should have.
At the end of May I’ll be speaking at the Webmaniacs conference in Washington D.C. (May 19-23). I’m giving a two hour hands-on session titled “AIR: Windows, Menus, and the System Tray.” The […]

Last week I posted some of my thoughts on the future of Flex application frameworks, which were my take-aways from the October Silicon valley Flex user’s group (a.k.a. “SilvaFUG”) users group meeting. In that post I strongly recommended watching the recordings of the presentations. The recordings are available now, so once again I highly recommend watching them (now that you actually can watch them =)
Here are the direct links:
- Grant Straker on Moving ZoomFlex from a homegrown framework to Cairngorm
- Ali Mills and Luke Bayes on Flex application frameworks (A great overview of the strengths and weaknesses of various frameworks like Cairngorm etc., from two really smart developers.)
Enjoy!
