Sexy Flex!

I went to a presentation this morning for Adobe Flex this morning that reaffirmed my desire to learn about it and use it. It's a very good application of a RAD platform, but what you can do with it is only limited by what you can imagine. It looks slick and really, really good. In less than 10 minutes, the presenter had a demo of a working picture viewer that allowed you to upload webcam shots to a carousel-like viewer. Impressive.

I already have plans to revamp my own website picture viewer with Flex, as well as recommend it for the online ontology editor we're thinking about at the office.

That's one think about this conference that I'm most impressed with - the amount of new tech that I want to go home and geek on :) Of all the conferences I've been to this year, javapolis is the one I'm going to lobby the most to go back to next year.

I got confused for a sec - I still say "Macromedia ____________"! I keep on forgetting...

Hahahahaaaaa... yeah. I almost just put "Adobe" as a header in the new CV, but then decided "Design" was classier.

Man. That sounds effing hot! I'd love to learn that thing!

... seriously, pretty as my resumé is, the list of IT skills divided by design and web development is getting kind of embarrassing. It basically looks like "this woman spends all her time on a computer. And really likes it that way."

the Flex community had grown large enough

Hi everyone,

The Flex team has talked about open sourcing the project since its beginning & did things like starting labs.adobe.com & giving people early access to the betas of Flex 2. In chatting with them, it sounds like the impetus for this was just that the Flex community had grown large enough where a lot of exciting open source activity was happening, & they wanted to be involved.
