360|Flex Video - Improve your programming by reading the Flex source code

The nice folks at 360|Flex (with sponsorship from Adobe) recorded our presentations in San Jose Aug 18-20th 2008. I'm planning to transcribe the talk and perhaps post some better screencasts for the middle part of the talk. I had many specific examples prepared that floundered somewhat on stage. Also, a friendly attendee suggested that posting about Eclipse/Flex Builder 3 shortcuts would be good, so I'll do that. There are so many things that I planned but didn't include!

The best part of the talk is the first 8 minutes, at 0:45, and 1:01 where I show the Star Wars of Flex development. I also showed a few utilities that I've developed: a class browser, a stack inspection tool (to find method callers), and a performance profiler. I'll be getting these together and posting the source within the next 2 weeks.

Thanks everyone for coming. The conference was great and there are some far better talks than mine, so be sure to check them out!

Jonathan Branam's 360 Flex presentation code is now available on github. Github is a source repository system like Google code or Sourceforge, but using git - a distributed source control solution. You don't need git to get the source, just click the download button on the page. Again, this is the code for Improving your Programming by Reading the Flex Source Code.
