We are giving a hand running Flex Camp London 08, check it out:

Flex Camp London 08 is a FREE, community-run event for everyone interested in Adobe Flex! Whether you’re just getting started with Flex or you’re an expert, Flex Camp aims to provide something for you.

We’ve lined up some of the most experienced Flex developers in the UK who will share their knowledge on everything from creating your first application, connecting to data, creating components and development best practices through to selecting an application framework for larger projects.

Flex Camp will also include a panel discussion, provide an opportunity for you to show off what you’re building in the Show & Tell open session and let you meet up with other developers to talk about Flex. We’ve also got some great prizes to give-away throughout the day, including a ticket to Adobe MAX in Milan, Adobe software and Flex training courses from Academy Class.

Flex Camp is on August 28th, 2-8pm at Conway Hall, London WC1 - register today at http://ria.meetup.com…

This is a FREE event, but you must be registered to attend and names will be taken at the door.

See you there!

Adobe releases Flex 3 and Air

February 26th, 2008

We have all been using for them for ages, but Adobe has finally released Flex 3 and Air. This is a huge release for the company, and solidifies their position at the forefront of the ever changing RIA landscape. Get them now!!!

I’ve been using Google Analytics for a while now and it’s really useful, I have used a dashboard widget to view some small amount of stats but it doesn’t have much functionality.

But now there is the Google Analytics AIR application built by Nicolas Lierman at Boulevart using Flex.

This 8min video I found via Serge Jespers blog has an interview with the team behind the application and it has some amazing features for the new version being released in March 2008, if you’re interested in Google Analytics it’s worth a watch or if your interested in a nicely skinned Flex application

Firstly a big thankyou to everyone involved, especially Adobe for helping with the venue and the free beer! The event went down really well, we got just under 200 people coming along, a lot of them from other platforms. The best question of the night in the Q&A was “How do I convince my clients to use Flex and not Ajax?”. Looks like it is all going in the right direction. The next big event like this will be in April, but there will be 2 smaller events between now and then.
