| Topic: | Building sexy software that users love is usually a challenging endeavor. The open source Flex SDK and Java are a perfect combination of technologies for building rich, sexy software - for the web and the desktop. Flex applications can run in the browser using the ubiquitous Flash Player or on the Desktop using the new Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). In both instances Java can be used for the back-end of the application. The communication between the Java back-end and Flex front-end can utilize a number of different communication protocols, but the easiest and best performing is the open source BlazeDS library. This session will cover the basics of using Flex, Java, and BlazeDS to build sexy software for the web and the desktop. |
| Notes: | James will be bringing a copy of his book: "First Steps in Flex" for each attendee! The odds of winning something at a CapJUg meeting are always pretty good, but this time you just can't lose! |
