360Flex – Keynote and Conference Sessions!

I am super excited for the kickoff of 360Flex San Jose on Monday, including my Monday morning keynote! This will be the first ever keynote I will deliver and this keynote is what I have been eating, drinking and sleeping the past couple of days. True to 360Flex keynote fashion, we will have two videos made by the Flex SDK team to unveil. I’ll post the videos to youtube after the conference is over.

Additionally, I have a session on Tuesday morning titled: “Whats New in Flex 4 that is NOT Spark!”. This session will focus on the features and capabilities added to Flex 4 that are not directly related to the new Spark component and skinning architecture.

If you’re coming to 360Flex, please come and say hi in person!
