Here’s a snipped from the interview: Sean ‘the flex guy’ Moore is a highly visible blogger in the Flash Platform Community. He has been developing web applications for 12 years now and it’s no surprise that he was chosen to be a Flex Developer Community Champion by Adobe for his hard work and dedication to the Community. FlashScope decided to interview this prominent Flash Developer, and luckily Sean agreed to answer some of our questions.”

Thanks to everyone who took the time to join the meeting. Thanks to Kyle and Chris for inviting me to present. Also thanks a lot to everyone who provided all the great feedback and questions. Dan made the journey down from the mountains to join us as well. Several attendees inquired about getting a copy of the slideshow. I think the articles that I wrote for Adobe are actually much better and cover even more material than the Powerpoint presentation. Here are the links to the articles:

Flex best practices – Part 1: Setting up your Flex project article

Flex best practices – Part 2: Development practices

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/best_practices_pt2.html

If you would still like the Powerpoint preso email me and I’ll send it along.

There was an example application that I wanted to share as well. I’ll post it on this blog in the very near future. It utilizes many of the practices and standards covered in my presentation and the articles. I’d like to provide a little info or blog post at least along with the example…soon….

I’ll be giving this same presentation on Flex Best Practices in March at the OC Flex Users Group. Thanks to ASFusion for the invite!!

Thanks again to everyone who made it out last night. The audience was really great and had great questions and a great discussion. I appreciate everyone’s time and feedback. Thanks to Dolores for all of the help getting ready for the preso too!!

Congrats to Anand Vardhan for being the first one to send in the correct answer to the last book giveaway question.

“What are three components that can be used for accessing server-side data with Flex?”

The correct answer was:

More information about Accessing Server-Side Data with Flex can be found in the online Adobe Flex 3 Help.

Anand already had a copy of Programming Flex 2 and he was kind enough to pass the book on to the second place winner who was Nuno Rosa from Portugal. Congrats to Nuno, you’re copy of Programming Flex 2 has been sent off. Enjoy that book, it’s a great one!

Now for what you’ve all been waiting for… The free book.
