I’m speaking at 360|Flex San Jose!
I was waiting for the official badges to post this, and now that they are here I can proudly announce that I will be speaking at 360|Flex San Jose this coming March!
I’m really excited to have the opportunity to present at this event. 360|Flex conferences are always the most valuable and enjoyable conferences I attend and to be invited to be a part of it this year is just awesome.
The title of the session I’ll be doing is “Intro to Flex Typography using the Text Layout Framework“
We’ll be diving into the text APIs introduced with Flash Player 10 and the components that Flex 4 provides on top of them to show you what it really means to think outside the (text)box. Come see what you can do when you throw the web-safe fonts list out the window, peek under the hood, and start creating dynamically flowing text layouts, embedding inline images, and getting creative with ligatures, kerning and baseline settings. By the end of the session you’ll have a good idea of what all of those terms mean in practice and how you can begin using this powerful addition to the Flash Player in your own projects.
If you’ve never been to a 360|Flex (or any 360|Conferences event) then you should definitely check it out. These guys have really got the formula down. Unparalleled content produced by real working professionals, combined with great fun, food, and drink.. what more could you ask?
I’ll see you there!

Looking forward to seeing the posted session afterwards.
Still waiting for a 360|Flex on the mid-atlantic/northeast shore. *LOL*

I’m glad you’re not presenting at the same time as me because I want to see this session.
