CincyFlex Join us for a very special Flex Doubleheader on March 24th & March 25th with Adobe evangelist James Ward. This is a combined group meeting with the Cincinnati Java User Group. On Wednesday, March 24th, James will be presenting “Flex in the Cloud”. Thursday will be a chance to pair program with James and ask him any Fle...x questions you can throw at him. Take this opportunity to solve some of your project's challenges or just get up to speed on an element of Flex you don't quite understand.

Food will be provided on Wednesday. There will be no food on Thursday. Feel free to bring some on your own.


Flex in the Cloud

Combining Flex and The Cloud offers the best of both worlds: scalable, hassle-free back-ends along with sexy UIs that just work. This session will explore the various Cloud options that can be combined with Flex including: Amazon (EC2, S3, etc), Google App Engine, Salesforce.com, and the Intuit Partner Platform. There will be code samples and demos for the various options.



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 ’90s; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid ’90s; then Java and many of its frameworks beginning in the late ’90s. 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.
