Friday, June 19: “Hello Flash Builder 4″


Nashville Flex / Flash Camp

This is the session to see if you’re interested in getting started with the Flash Builder 4 beta, now available on http://labs.adobe.com. The presentation will highlight some cool new features of the IDE, and then jump right into the goods. I may include such topics as: The Flash Player 10 Text Engine (which is awesome), Skinning components with FXG, Creating custom components, and the wonderful new syntax for States. If you have a topic you are especially interested in, please send me an email or drop me a line in the comments below!

 

Adobe AIR Pre-release Tour: Nashville, TN

Me with Ben Forta (Adobe)

Ben Forta (Adobe’s Senior Technical Evangelist) made a stop in Nashville last night to discuss Flex 3, AIR, LiveCycle Data Services and other related topics. The event was held by the 615 Flex user group and sponsored by Dealer Skins, The Dave Ramsey Show, Shuff’s Music and Aristoworks. Thank you to everyone for putting on a great show.

Speaking of presentations: I will be starting a short series on Cairngorm at the next 615 Flex user group meeting. The topic will be covered from a beginner perspective. Contact me or check out 615Flex.com for more details.
