I have been supposed to give a talk on Flex to our group for a little while.  I keep postponing the talk because I am not sure what people want to know about Flex.

At this point the talk will be an introduction to the framework followed by a short code session explaining component development and event dispatching.

But I would really rather cater this talk to the needs of our group.  So please comment below with suggestions about what you would like to hear about.

 

Thanks,

This month we are cross promoting an event put on by the gotoandplay.net group. Join Lee Brimelow as he describes the recent changes and additions to the Flash Platform.
