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.
