Geeking out with Adobe Flex

Just some quick notes...I had some extra time this weekend and watched several excellent online presentations mostly about Adobe Flex. Adobe is doing a really good job of making their conference presentations freely available.

I worked my way through the following Adobe Max 2009 presentations:

• MAX 2009: Model-Driven Development Using Flash Builder 4 and LiveCycle Data Services ES
  
• MAX 2009: Photoshop CS4: The Essentials of Image Enhancement for Web and Flash Designers 
• MAX 2009: What's New in Flex 4 
• MAX 2009: Flash Builder 4 Advanced Tips and Tricks 
• MAX 2009: Professional Flex Data Visualization: Going One Step Further
  

Also, in the past I must have seriously overlooked Adobe TV. Seems to be a pretty neat educational resource. There I watched: Using the Flex Charting Components

Lastly, I ended the weekend by watching Data Visualization and Dashboards by Thomas Gonzales (from 360|Flex Conference). By the way you should also seriously check out his blog: http://www.twgonzalez.com/blog/. There is some good stuff there.

In his presentation, Thomas showed some need examples. This one causes some serious drooling: http://www.brightpointinc.com/flexdemos/googlefinance.html

And just in case you need a gauge on your dashboards: http://www.twgonzalez.com/blog/?p=34 Oh, yeah.
