James Ward on Flex in the Cloud!

The RIA Cowboy himself, James Ward, a Technical Evangelist for Flex at Adobe, will be joining us LIVE IN ATLANTA!

Combining Flex and The Cloud offers the best of both worlds: scalable, hassle-free back-ends along with sexy UIs that just work. This session will explore the various Cloud options that can be combined with Flex including: Amazon (EC2, S3, etc), Google App Engine, Salesforce.com, and the Intuit Partner Platform. There will be code samples and demos for the various options.

James Ward is a Technical Evangelist for Flex at Adobe and Adobe’s JCP representative to JSR 286, 299, and 301. Much like his love for climbing mountains, he enjoys programming because it provides endless new discoveries, elegant workarounds, summits and valleys. His adventures in climbing have taken him many places. Likewise, technology has brought him many adventures, including: Pascal and Assembly back in the early ’90s; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid ’90s; then Java and many of its frameworks beginning in the late ’90s. Today he primarily uses Flex to build beautiful front-ends for Java based back-ends. Prior to Adobe, James built a rich marketing and customer service portal for Pillar Data Systems.
