There are a few events coming up that Flextras will be a part of.

Unfortunately for you, the RIA Unleashed event in Boston on November 13th is already sold out. But, thankfully Flex Camp Wall Street is not. Flex Camp Wall Street is a 2 day event in New York City focused on Flex on November 16th and 17th.

While I won't be there, you can get some Flextras goodies at Flash Camp Philadelphia on November 7th.

Additionally, I recently interviewed for two separate podcasts. It is definitely a switch to be an interviewee as opposed to a producer. Yakov Fain interviewed me for his No BS IT podcast at the Adobe Max conference, and Shashank Tiwari got me on his Speak Rich podcast.

A presentation I gave at the Boston Flex User Group is now posted. This is a version of Bullet Proofing Flex Components, where I talk about things you can do to prime your components for reuse.

This was an in-person presentation and It was recorded using my laptop's mic, but I'm told the sound quality is pretty good.

It's amazing at how the audience can direct a presentation through their questions. An audience member asked me about reasons to use component lifecycle methods; and I think it was a great side step to the presentation.

A recording of the presentation I gave at the RIA Meetup group has been posted.

The presentation is entitled Bullet Proofing Flex Components and delves deep into some of the code for Flextras components to help you understand how to optimize your components for reuse.

This is episode Sixteen of the Flextras Friday Lunch podcast, originally broadcast on May 22nd, 2009. In this episode, I talk about the 360|Flex conference in Indianapolis. We also touch on Flash on Mobile Devices, and I dish out some advice for business start ups.

Flextras Friday Lunch is a short demo followed by open Q&A that occur every Friday at 1pm EST. The presentations take place over Connect. You can find out what time this occurs in your own time zone at TimeAndDate.com.

I hope I can help answer some of your questions at the next one.

Flextras is proud to be a sponsor of the 360|Flex conference in Indianapolis, starting in just one week. We're so excited we created this character that you can get your picture taken with (or taken as). I know that tickets are still available. We also have an extra special treat for all 360|Flex attendees. But you have to register to find out what it is.

The conference is real cost effective compared to others in the space. Here is my take on their reasons to go:

• Get your picture taken with the Flextras guy
• Learn from over 60 sessions of Flex, AIR and ActionScript
• Bond with the world's top Flex Developers over an open bar at their great networking events
• Go from 0 to 100 in your Flex Developer knowledge with Sunday's Flex 101 hands-on training
• Boost your Karma by helping out at the Charity Code Jam.
• Did I mention you should get your picture taken with the Flextras guy?

Hi Everyone,

I'll be giving a presentation at the Hartford Connecticut Adobe User Group entitled Your Demos are Ugly.

One of our users actually contacted me to tell me that. And he's right, our demos are relatively ugly. This presentation will focus on demoing the two existing Flextras components and we'll discuss some tips for making the demos look more flashy using effects and styles.

You can join us on-line if you want.

The presentation starts at 7:30pm EST. Convert the time to your local time zone here
