- Flex Camp Triangle – How Was It?
As you know on 6th of November we had Flex Camp Triangle (see also myadobe.ro). A few days has passed and after some “cold thinking” I’m writing some thoughts on about the conference.
It has been a great Flex Camp and the focus was on the newly launched Flash Player 10 and what can be done with it.
Matt Chotin did broadcast his keynote directly from USA focusing on Flash Player 10 and its new features.
Mihai Corlan explained us when, how and why to use AIR and he presented an AIR application coded for MotorPlay. Mihai Corlan and Mihai Pricope did consulting and development for MotorPlay and they did build this application. Another application presented was BlackBookSafe application that will be presented at Adobe Max. BlackBookSafe is build on AIR 1.5 that will be released this year.
Cristian Pascu presented Flair Builder which is a under-development mock-up tool. A lot of work done but frankly all that Flair Builder do can already be done in Flex Builder. Flex Builder can be used with very much success to create mock-ups. We were not impressed by Flair Builder and although everybody laughed Cristi’s remarks on Adobe products were out of the line.
We liked Dragos Dascalita presentation on UI and skinning with AIR. On the same presentaton he touched some issues that are in Flex SDK, issues of DataGrid. Dragos explained that we can use Repeater to create a data grid like control and when to use each one of them.
Mihai Pricope did show us Pixel Bender. Wonderful presentation! He bended: images, videos and sounds. All mathematics!
Victor Dramba presented Cabanova a RIA product made in Romania – a site builder. Impresive work! Project is based on Actionscript 2 and doesn’t use Flex SDK.
The sessions are recorded and can be viewed following this link: https://admin.adobe.acrobat.com/_a295153/p16808009/
Some pictures Fx{r} did take are here: http://www.flexer.info/2008/11/06/we-salute-you-from-flex-camp-triangle/.
The conference was a success and we are looking forward for the next one.

The event was great, as usual. I’ll never miss one from now. There were a few details I didn’t already know about Flash Player 10 and the code examples presented there will speed up future implementation we will do at our company.
A little rectification I’d like to make about our Cabanova. The current release that you can see on cabanova.com is AS2 based ideed. But the version presented there, CabanovaTX (currently in the internal beta phase) is written in AS3 with Flex Builder. We don’t use Flex framework but for sure, we couldn’t do it without Flex Builder. Coupled with SVN and a good IDE for served-side coding, Flex is the best RIA tool for small or large team-worked projects.
