    More Flex Resources

    August 22nd, 2007

    I have had my resource page up for a long time now but Sean Moore has posted today with a large list of resources, many of which I am missing. I will update mine when I can but for now you can view his list here.

    This is great news as it means yet another excellent Flex resource.


    Off the Grid

    August 14th, 2007

    I have been off the grid for a while but have been very busy with Flex and AIR. Here is a little update on my last 6 weeks.

    Although I never posted it here, I have been busy working on my presentation for MAX in Chicago. The session is titled:

    * Taking a Flex Application from the Web to the Desktop with Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR)
    o Monday, October 1 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
    o Wednesday, October 3 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm

    Also, I am about half way though a new title for Wrox named Beginning Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). It is a beginners guide to AIR and will be very user friendly. I am hoping to have it completed by the end of October which puts a release date sometime in early ‘08. Stay tuned for more information on this new book from Wrox.

    Finally, we are getting ready to release our second large Flex 2 e-commerce application at my day job at Herff Jones. I have been working on this UI for about 10 weeks and it is scheduled to launch in early October.
