Audience:
Developers using Flex to build mobile apps for iOS, Android and BlackBerry Tablet OS
When:
Thursday, August 18th, 2011 from 09:00 to 10:30 PDT (GMT-7)
We’re going to do another one – new date will be posted here soon!
Where:
To join the event, go to the Adobe Connect “Flex Mobile” Room
This will be chat-only so no sound needed. You can access this from your web browser or through the Adobe Connect mobile app on iPhone/iPad/Android. You can come and go as you please between 9:00AM and 10:30AM PDT. No pre-registration necessary.
How:
We will have at least five evangelists in the Connect session to answer questions. This is a bit of a science experiment so we’ll see how it goes! We will allow as many people in as we can handle, then we’ll start blocking entry and creating a queue. The event will run for 90 minutes so you can come and go as you want. There are no presentations and no demos. It’s purely a Q&A session.
Why:
For many of us, building apps for mobile devices is a very dramatic shift. We’ve never before had to deal with touch interfaces, varying screen densities, and input from the GPS and accelerometer. At the same time, we have to be much more conscious than ever before about resources, because our apps run on much slower CPUs with far less memory than we are used to and on OSes that will shut down our apps if they cross the line! It’s not a trivial transition!
Our team has been building real apps with Flex for several months and we have learned a lot. This is an opportunity for us to share that knowledge in an informal setting. We’ve never attempted this before, but if it works well, we’ll do it often. If it’s a bust, we’ll figure out a better way.
Rules:
- Questions should be as specific as possible and limited to Flex on Mobile.
- We can’t promise that every question will be answered, but we’ll do our best.
- We can’t debug your code, that’s your job! However, we can direct you to good online resources.
- Keep it friendly and G-rated. We don’t want to see you on webcam!
- No flaming! We’re here to answer specific questions, not to debate you about technology.
- We reserve the right to ignore you
