360Flex: Stoked to get a break and hear great devs.

02/23/2010 in Community, RIA View Comments

360Flex is just over one week away and I am getting super stoked to not only get a break from the craziness, but to also hear and learn from some of the best devs in the business. I have to thank my employer for sending me, or else I wouldn’t be making the trek to San Jose…that and the fact that there is no limit to alcohol on my expense report. Yeah, what were they thinking ;) . So I decided to sit down and get a tentative schedule ready.

First off I will say that I wish I could duplicate myself and attend all of the classes available, but nonetheless I have to choose one from each available time slot. My first run through the session were chosen based on what’s relative to my current job, after all they are footing the bill. My second run through was what I would personally want to see, and honestly they were really close in comparison…

There are a few of speakers that I would choose no matter what…namely Deepa Subramaniam, Jesse Warden and Jeff Tapper. I have seen them all speak before and really enjoy their sessions. So, below is the list of topics I am currently choosing to attend, excluding the key notes and group sessions that I will of course attend:

Day 1:
  • 1:00pm – 5:00pm: Joel Hooks – Hands-on Development with the RobotLegs AS3 Framework

    • *I wouldn’t miss this session for anything. I am slowly digging into RobotLegs as I can outside of the office. I know the basics but am definitely looking forward to learning from Joel in a hands-on environment.

Day 2:
  • 10:00am – 11:20am: Richard Lord – Designer Last Application Architect.
  • 1:00pm – 2:20pm: Daivd Hassoun – Going Deep w/OSMF – OMG
  • 2:30pm – 3:50pm: Jesse Warden – RobotLegs on Top of GAIA Framework
  • 4:00pm – 5:20pm: Huyen Tue Dao – Greenthreading in Flex

Day 3:
  • 10:00am – 11:20am: Deepa Subramaniam – What’s New in Flex 4 that’s NOT Spark!
  • 1:00pm – 2:20pm: Gary Rogers – Automated Build and Deployment Processes.
  • 2:30pm – 3:50pm: Elad Elrom – Building Applications using Test Driven Development (TDD)

Day 4:
  • 10:00am – 11:20am: Jeff Tapper – Ouch, it hurts when I do that.
  • 1:00pm – 2:20pm: Caleb Adam Haye – Better Builds: Continuous Integration for RIAs
  • 2:30pm – 3:50pm: Eric Fickes – Adobe is from Mars, Microsoft is from Uranus: A View from the Server.
