So day two was pretty interesting. Jeffry Houser gave an interesting session on building Flex Components. He has a comfortable, interactive style of speaking that works well, and keeps you involved with the session.
I really enjoyed the introduction to fluint, the Flex Unit testing project by Jeff Taper. Unit testing is one of those things that I would like to incorporate more into projects, but have always balked at the time considerations involved. I think the fluint project is really come along.
I think my favorite session of the day was Christophe Coenraets (Adobe Evangelist). It was a pretty high level overview of LiveCycle Data Services, and using remote objects. It didn’t get into too much of the tech details, but I really enjoyed the session. He also showed an interesting Flex portal application that was using Modules and a Module Loader.
After talking with Jeffry Houser for a few minutes, he talked me into doing an quick interview for the Flex Show. I was really flattered to be a part of the show. We mostly talked about the conference sessions and my thoughts on them. I have been listening to the Flex Show for a while now, so it was nice to meet Jeffry, and be on the show. You can check out the latest show, episode # 56 to hear it from here.
I ended up having to leave just before the mixer at the end to catch a cab to the airport. I was disappointed at missing that.
All in all it was a great two day event. I’m glad I went. Thanks to 360 | Flex and the NJ Flex group for putting it together.
