My good buddy Guillermo (gman) asked me about some Flex info. He’s a solid PHP’er and said he wanted to get into Flex so I hit him back with some info on where to get started. I also, as I typically do, jumped on the opportunity to do a Connect session to help him ramp up. Last time I did this for a friend it was one on one. This time…I’m opening it up to the public.
Session Description
The Flex Dev Primer is a pure development session (don’t expect theory and graphics although you might get some) focused on helping non-flex developers ramp up to become comfortable with Flex in a short period of time. We will focus on Flex 3/Halo but will spend the last while discussing the shift in Flex 4/Spark.
I’ve updated my speaking calendar with the details. I will keep it updated regularly with any and all of my engagements as well as any changes to this session.
If you have ever used FlashDevelop (http://www.flashdevelop.org; windows only), you are familiar with the GREAT code completion it provides. FB is lacking terribly, in comparison. So…let’s vote to build it up.
Dev should be made simpler in now the 4th release of FB but there are still numerous areas where FB is terribly lacking in comparison to Java development in Eclipse.
