I've just finished my presentation at the 360 Flex Conference this morning and it went really well. We had a really good turnout and there were some great questions. As promised, I am posting my slide deck and sample code (client and server) here for everyone to download and try for themselves. For those of you who weren’t there but are interested in what was covered, here is snapshot of the samples that I talked about…

• Why Flex & PHP
• What can I build with it?
• How can I build with it?
• Demos
  • Flex & PHP using REST
  • Flex & PHP using JSON
  • Flex & PHP using AMF
  • Flickr example

If you had any questions or comments, feel free to let me know! Thanks to Tom Ortega for getting me involved, and of course, thanks to everyone who came!

I just finished my presentation at UBC and it was another great event. We had a good attendance and some really really good questions. I was very pleased to see how enthusiastic a lot of the students were. I was also pleased to see some very good criticisms in the audience. This is a positive thing. I very much appreciate criticism. It means a few things - people are listening, they are interested about the technology, and they are giving opinions on how to improve it, and to me, these are the most valuable because ultimately, it will be these people who will be the ones using it!

I also enjoyed this presentation a bit more because it gave me the chance to speak about Apollo. I've worked with it in projects prior, but wasn’t able to say anything about it simply because of how early in development it was (and still is). I'm really excited though to see Apollo hit the masses and hopefully see some very cool applications flood the web.

As always, here is my presentation slide deck from the event. See you on the flipside…

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've had the privilege of presenting LiveCycle to Cold Fusion User Group in Seattle. I gave them a product overview of Adobe LiveCycle as part of their regular monthly meeting. They are a great group of people and if you are interested in Cold Fusion (or want to be) and live in the area, I encourage you to join! As requested, here is my slide deck from the presentation. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me.
