I am giving a presentation with Lee Brimelow about using Flex and PHP. Looks like it is going to be a great presentation.

I submitted an unconfrence hands on session. This requires a vote so GO VOTE if you find it interesting. If you want me to address anything in either talk just let me know.

Flex + AMF+ PHP = Data Visualization
http://joind.in/event/view/41

Looking to build your first Flex application or are just curios about it’s complexity? Most people are attracted to Flex in order visualize complex data. Learn the technical details for setting up your first visualization application with charting, maps, and lazy loaded data sets. For even more fun we will use some real time data from #tek09 with the help from Zend Framework.

I am really excited to be showcasing Zend Framework and the work that I have been doing on Zend Amf, maybe some FB 4 sneaks, at SWFCAMP Monday the 6th in Minneapolis. There are great speakers lined up for only $40 dollars of all day training. That’s pretty slick! This mini conference is run better than most major conference because people like Danny Patterson and Dave Shroeder, FlashBelt, make sure it is executed flawlessly. The cool thing about the day is that all of the speakers will be adding onto the same project throughout the entire day. This means that we get to cover a larger application than normal. Little will be repeated and the individual speakers get to focus on their specific topic. It should be lots of fun. Last year we had a turn out well over 100 people, great facility, and the sushi and drinks for the after party were fantastic! If you have ever attended a Flash Camp before this is the next level. 

More about the application we are building:

Jason Grey is building an product comparison application where the user can add products from Amazon or eBay and compare them.  Danny Paterson is  going to be adding peer-to-peer collaboration to the application in his session.  This will allow two users to shop and compare together. To do peer-to-peer in Flash Player 10 we must use the new Stratus beta from Adobe to get unique ids.  These ids need to be registered along with the user’s name in a common place.  So the service we need is a backend that can store current user sessions. Enter Wade Arnold’s talk on using ZendAmf for integration with PHP and MySQL.

This will be fun! I am sure there are more details but you will just have to come in order to find them all out! Check out the main site for more infomation and sign up right now!

Adam and I just flew to San francisco to meet for the first time. Even though we live 20 minutes away in Iowa.

I finally purchased my Adobe MAX ticket and filled out my scheduale. Let me know if you are speaking or attending and read this blog. Would love to attend your session or grab a beer/coffee to chat about the type of things that make you come back to this page! I will make sure I blog, twitter, etc while I am there.

Updated Features

I have upload a screen cast of some of the stuff that I am doing with Zend Amf. Next week I will be at ZendCon talking about how to leverage Flex w/ the Zend framework.  Nothing fancy but at least you get the idea of what I have been up to! See you next week and I will try and have another video up tomorrow night if anyone is actually interested.

I am going to being making a presentation on AMFPHP at SWFCAMP which is put together by the Adobe users group mn.swf.  If you are going to be attending the confrence make sure you say hi! Also post a comment if there is something specific that you would like to hear about.

N-Tier Development with AMFPHP
In this session you will learn the basics of setting up an AMFPHP PHP environment. We will then walk through a CRUD (create, read, update, delete) example in both Flash CS3 and Flex. You should leave this session with confidence in starting to use AMFPHP in building your business logic and data tiers for future Flash Player based applications. Throughout the session we will describe some of the tips and tricks for optimizing AMFPHP with information on class mapping, Authentication, ArrayCollection’s, and AMFEXT, which will keep the attention of even the most veteran RIA developer.
