CFinNC Starts Tomorrow

Well it is finally here… CFinNC kicks off on the campus of NC State, Raleigh NC, this weekend. If you are a Flex and/or Coldfusion developer then this conference is for you. Best part, it’s absolutely free and the presenters are top notch. Corefield, Labriola, Tucker, Kotek, Pomilio, etc…

Yeah, I just gave myself a shameless plug. But what the heck, why not. I will be giving two presentations on Saturday. The first is at 2pm on ‘Flex and Javascript’ and another one covering ‘Flex, Xhtml and CSS.’ So check out the conference site at www.cfinnc.com and remember it’s free.

Flash Camp Atlanta – August 28th

Well, I am pretty excited to be heading down to Flash Camp in Atlanta on August 28th. It happens to be the same day as my birthday . Can’t beat that!
 

Five Minute Flex Twitter Client

Yes, yet another Twitter client. Does the world really need another Twitter client? Probably not. But this particular client was created based on a challenge that was issued by a fellow developer. The challenge – create a Flex app that uses a social networking service, and has at least one custom component, all in five minutes or less.

Here is the source code download, go ahead and tool around with it: Flex 5 Miute Challenge Source Code
So go ahead and have some fun, get together with some developers and tryout the ‘Flex 5 Minute Challenge’

Since my buddy and I made this up we came up with these rules, feel free to change them:
Flex application must utilize any service provided by a publicly available social networking site.
The application must contain at least one custom component.
Time begins as soon as you start writing code and the app must be published as a release build before 5 minutes is up.

That’s it, it’s fun, give it a shot.

So here it is:
