"Using Adobe Flex with Rails" tutorial at RailsConf Europe

Today I'm presenting at RailsConf Europe in Berlin together with Aslak Hellesøy from Bekk Consulting. Todays tutorial is "Using Adobe Flex with Rails", the tutorial is all about how to combine two great tools to quickly develop nice looking and compelling applications. It is really interesting to see what the Rails community is doing with BDD (Behavior-Driven Development), Aslaks second tutorial of the day, and rapid prototyping.

Both Rails and Flex are considered "best in class" when it comes to rapid development, and during todays 3.5 hour session we will show how Flex can integrate with Rails using a REST based back-end.

The presentation can be found here, and the code is on google code

Presenting "Eliminate Waste in Java Development with Adobe Flex" at JavaZone

JavaZone in Oslo, Norway, is the starting point of my little conference "tour".

Today I presented Eliminate Waste in Java Development with Adobe Flex together with Espen Dalløkken from Ezmo at JavaZone in Oslo, Norway. A short outline of the presentation on how to eliminate waste in Rich Internet Applications:

  • Remove your Java MVC; Spring MCV, WebFlow, Struts 2...
  • No MVC, less configuration and no flow configuration on server, your application is data driven, why should the server care about the flow on the client!
  • LCDS, LiveCycle Data Services on top of your existing application, Integrating with Spring, Hibernate, EJB, using one of the LCDS adapters, or using a custom adapter.
  • Streamline handover between design and development teams using Flex/Flash Component kit.
