Agenda

What’s New in Flex 4 (Matt Chotin) 9:00 - 9:45
Most of us have heard that the Flash Platform tools are getting a major upgrade with Flex 4.  We’ll give a high-level overview of what’s coming in the three major components: Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder, and the Flex Framework.

Concepting Rich Internet Applications (Joost Nuijten) 9:50 - 10:35
The pitfall of Flex applications is to thrown in a bunch of buttons of fields, the Flex skin looks nice, and the say: “There we have another Rich Internet Application”. To my opinion it is much more than that. It’s about creating the ultimate user experience by mixing interaction design, emotion and common sense.

“One key element of a good ergonomic web application, or at least a sign that it works ergonomically, is that you want to stay there — like a big old comfortable chair that wraps you up and you just don’t want to leave it, ever… (well, at least, maybe, for a little while more…)”
