Join Aaron Pederson and James Polanco, Flex component development experts, as they walk you through the inner workings of the Flex framework and explain how to write extensible, rich, and highly performing components. They will cover the new Spark component and skinning architecture and how to use it correctly to build Spark components for use in Flex applications.

Creating Compelling Mobile User Experiences: What You Need to Know
Explore the role of prototyping in designing and developing compelling mobile applications. We’ll examine the forms that prototypes can take (from paper prototypes to rich, interactive simulations), their advantages and costs, and how Adobe tools can be used to create them. Then we’ll walk through creating a user interface for a mobile application using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, and Flash Builder. This presentation also covers best practices for UX, as well as developer-focused tips and tricks.

The presentation will be based on the basic multi-touch capabilities the Flash Player has using Adobe Flex. We will be going over what it can and cannot do (out of the box), how multi-touch works with Flex, Some very basic code demos to help everyone understand and get started, and then I will show a more complex product to demonstrate the possibilities.
