Some really cool stuff today…
- First session was a general overview of Cloud Computing and Flex/Air applications. Some great technology. Very cost and resource efficient way to host applications. The talks addressed Amazon Web Services and Google App Engine. But also gave information about some other services available as well.
- Second session was audio generation with Flex using a soon to be released API/Lib from a company called Audiospike. This discussion was cool in that it dealt with DSP, FFT and interesting ways to process audio from Flex(AS3).
- Session 3 and 4 were hands on sessions dealing with an MVC framework called PureMVC. Some great information about how to architect and design apps using MVC and Flex as well as some great implementation ideas.
- Session 5 was the Business of selling apps developed with Flex/Air. This was a pretty cool talk about business practices in general for selling software. The presenter went over some of the business models and the pros and cons of each business model. Talked primarily about licensing and how to prevent piracy… Just a nice topic for me to end the day with.
All in all another good day at the conference. I won a raffle that got me a free book… So I had a bit of good luck.
Last sessions tomorrow then I am heading home… I miss my family… very much…
