Back From Presenting at the LA Flex User Group
I just got back from doing a presentation at the Los Angeles Flex User Group organized by Tom Bray and Robert Cadena of Search Coders. It was great to finally meet those guys and have conversations with fellow “Flexers” along with shaking the dust off some of my presentation skills.
The presentation, titled “Creating a Visual Experience in Flex 2,” was a test run of some of the topics Andy McIntosh and I will be presenting at the 360Flex Conference in August. Overall things went great and I got a lot of feedback. Some of the feedback I got was to be expected like, “You need more visuals.” I got into a time crunch and didn’t get to implement all the visuals I wanted to, I mean come on, I’m talking about something visual and I have no visuals. Completely understandable and I’ll make sure to get more in there.
There was a bit of redundancy in parts of the presentation that I breezed through to get to showing some actual live examples of what I was talking about. Everybody really responded to those, so I’m going to try to work live examples in the presentation even if I do have to break between the slides and FlexBuilder. I’ve got a bit of work to do.
Also, I mentioned to those who attended that I’d be making the presentation slides available so you can access a PDF of the slides below. The redundant parts were stripped out and the majority of the slides have general concepts that I went into detail while speaking.
