Amsterdam XTech
I bet you think three X's following the name of the city on their heraldic device and everything down to the drains are something other than symbolic of a cross upon which an apostle by the name of Andrew was crucified. Why three? According to Queen Wilhelmina who decreed them, they represent three moral virtues: Compassion, Resolution, and Heroism. You thought they meant something else?
X - Compassion: Back in Amsterdam showing our support for another XTech. I guess they felt sorry for me having to travel all the way to Amsterdam (ha!) so I got added at the last minute to the AJAX day tomorrow - spinning up a new talk on the interaction models and UI practices that make for good RIA, and digging into the Services Oriented Client with AJAX and Adobe Flex.
X - Resolution: High resolution. It's all about handling events and states. The fun is in the UI and the coding - you have all that expression baked in your IDE now, don't you? My resolution: try harder if I find it needs more than one button that just says, "Yes, Yes, Yes."
X - Heroism: Have you seen Spry yet? Minimum J AJAX - sweet. Maybe I'll show it tomorrow. Also in Amsterdam this week, besides all the normal goings-on, looks like the Barcamp Amsterdam II is cooking - so we are all looking forward to the sessions and lessons this week.
Turns out I'm missing the sessions, lessons and all the Guru:Logic at JavaOne . Like I said, it's all about the events and getting into the States.

Fancy returning to Amsterdam (or sending one of yours)? We'd love to have a UI/RIA-aware Flex representative present at The Web and Beyond (http://www.thewebandbeyond.nl). The people at Adobe that we spoke to say they can't send someone senior enough (you'd be in one session with Backbase)!?
Let me know...
