In case you are wondering the mystery program turned up as a daily flyer, so all is forgiven Geoff. Mind you, you’re still not getting of the hook, the program book was okay, nicely done, but would it have killed you to have a cross referencing index. Okay it’s not SxSWi, but with two days, four streams, it really does help to have the information listed in more than just major topic groups of Flash, Coldfusion, Web Techniques and RIA Development.
The Day
- All credit to the guys at Nectarine for the Flash based adverts, they where totally awesome.
It’s 4.50am in the morning, I was going to save this blog entry till the respectable hours of the morning, but the effects of too much alcohol, MSG on my system has left me totally wired. Better to burn out the sucker, than lying in bed tossing the turning.
First up after a stroll up towards the Bridge end of Sydney, there was a solid day of having Flex downloaded into my head, you know the drill, unscrew top of your head, pour in Flex, mix, re-screw on top of your head, thankyou James Talbot (from Adobe) for the massive headlong push into the world of Flex. I’ll be looking into Flex some more.
I’m on the countdown now for WebDU 2007, this will be my first WebDU, not that I’m a stranger to the conference scene as such (see previous post on WebDU). It’s just I have been a little bit quiet on the ColdFusion scene of late. That’s not quite work wise, but just getting to events and all the rest. Flash, well I used to love Flash and enjoyed working and coding in ActionScript. But business reality hits home. I don’t really think Flash has a place as a serious tool (flame away), it’s just I can’t find any work for people with Flash skills in the long term. Flex, well I have a love hate relationship with Flex. This is why I’m bundling myself into Sydney a day early for the Flex crash course workshop to see if I’m just missing the Flex-goodness or not.
