While at Devoxx 2008 Chet Haase and I sat down with The Java Posse for an interview about Flex, integrating Flex with Spring, Flex Gumbo, and various other topics. You can listen to the interview via The Java Posse Podcast - episode #242, watch it on parleys.com (perhaps even using their awesome AIR app) or watch it right here. Let me know what you think.
On the road again… I’ll be talking about Flex and Java at a few more Java User Groups over the next few weeks. Here they are:
Hope to see you somewhere along the way!
I’ll be at the TriJUG tonight talking about integrating Flex and Java in real-world applications.
On Wednesday March 18th I’ll be speaking at TheServerSide Java Symposium in Vegas.
And on March 24th I’ll be speaking in Miami at the Miami JUG.
Hope to see some of you along the way!
Next week I begin a Java User Group tour where I’ll be talking about integrating Flex with Java, Spring, and Hibernate. First stop is the Phoenix JUG on Wednesday March 11. Then I’ll be at the Orange County JUG on Thursday March 12.
I’ll be at a number of other JUGs over the next few months. I hope to see you along the way!
IntelliJ IDEA 8.0, the popular Java IDE, has been released and now supports building and debugging Flex applications. This is great validation of Flex’s momentum in the Java community. For more information on how to get started see “Creating Flex Applications with IntelliJ IDEA”. If you are a Java and Flex developer you should definitely download the trial version and check it out.
In a few weeks I’ll be over in Amsterdam for JFall and FlexCamp. Both events will have some new and exciting presentations about Adobe AIR and Flex. At JFall I’ll be presenting “The Future of the Open Source Flex SDK” and at the FlexCamp I’ll be presenting “Gumbo, what will bring Flex4 to us”. I hope to see you there!
Flex and JSF have both been widely adopted by the Java Community. In many instances developers must choose between the two technologies. Today Exadel announced a new product called Fiji which alleviates this decision by providing a simple and seamless way to integrate Flex and JSF.
This is very exciting news for Java developers. For more information read the press release, check out the product page, or see the live demos.
Last year at JavaPolis Bruce Eckel, Christoph Rooms, and I did a keynote about Flex. That talk has been posted on Parleys.com (which btw is an awesome Flex app!). You can watch it there, in their Adobe AIR application, or right here using the new Parleys.com Share (beta) widget. If you have any problems watching it here please let me know or file a bug. Thanks!
A podcast I recently did with Chariot Solutions has just been published. Let me know what you think.
Listen to the Flex Show interview with Bruce Eckel and me. Then let me know what you think.
