360 Flex Indy was outstanding
The conference in Indianapolis was fantastic and the sponge is full. Met so many fellow developers. Was accused of stalking Adobe employees, but I only said hi to Matt Chotin once. So much to experiment with. FlexUnit 4 is important. Degrafa looks compelling. Will definitely look into Axiis data visualization library. I am intrigued by Maté as a framework. OpenFlux … Yes!!!! ESRI has a new free mapping API … BAM. Lazy loading datagrid using cacheing and synchronization (props to Zach Pinter) … I need that. According to Jeff Tapper’s 7 golden rules of how not to code in Flex, I should have been fired 7 times. RSL’s! RSLs! RSLs! But my favorite session was by Doug McCune. He talked about stuff that re-inspired him as a developer.
This slide is about how Flex application development became a job, and nothing much more than that.
Doug’s live demo on head tracking in Flash. He showed an application that can be used for “Safe Sexting”. You can do whatever you want on the video and your face will be tracked and blurred. Big laughs on this one.
Doug had a unique take on how to push the concept of Augmented Reality. He gave himself boobs in this live demo.
Thanks, good article.
