Jason Madsen
Session: Making the jump to Flex
Are you a web developer
who still hasn't taken on Flex? It's time. Over the last few years
Flex has helped pushed RIA development into the mainstream. In this
session we will look at migrating to development with Flex. We'll talk
about what Flex has to offer as we introduce it's declarative markup
syntax (MXML), an overview of the available Flex components and look
into it's component life cycle. We will discuss how to utilize your
existing ActionScript knowledge and provide a good starting point for
you to take on Flex development.
