Presented by James Ward

Meeting at Nortel Networks

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
(Google doesn't grok this address: see direction details below)

Abstract:

By now you've probably heard of Flex. But what is it like to build real
production applications with Flex and Java? How do you ensure
maintainability? How do you test them? What is the best way to integrate
them with your back-end? How do you know about and resolve problems?
This session will dive into those topics with live coding examples and
demonstrations.

James will be providing a free book giveaway from Adobe to everyone
attending the March Meeting.


About the Speaker:

James Ward is a Technical Evangelist for Flex at Adobe and Adobe’s JCP
representative to JSR 286, 299, and 301. Much like his love for climbing
mountains he enjoys programming because it provides endless new
discoveries, elegant workarounds, summits and valleys. His adventures in
climbing have taken him many places. Likewise, technology has brought
him many adventures, including: Pascal and Assembly back in the early
90’s; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid 90’s; then Java and many of
it’s frameworks beginning in the late 90’s. Today he primarily uses Flex
to build beautiful front-ends for Java based back-ends. Prior to Adobe,
James built a rich marketing and customer service portal for Pillar Data
Systems.
