2010 brought a lot of changes to us and a big move. In December last year, the lease for our old of fice expired and we thought that we could change the scenery too. So we decided to go back to Los Angeles, after several years living in the Orange County.

For those of you who don’t know my name from the surprisingly popular Flex Gangsta video that I whipped up for the 360|Flex San Jose Conference, it’s Jeremy Saenz!
I kind of just fell into the developer world about six months ago, and I have never turned back. I love designing and developing UI’s, hacking audio code, mixing and writing music. I love the Flex developer community, and I love participating in it, so be sure to check in here at AsFusion for some pretty sweet tutorials and resources for Flex. Don’t hesitate to talk to me... I am a very friendly guy! Do you like music? Wanna jam? Wanna be my friend? Hit me up on Twitter.
Category: Flex | Miscellaneous |360|Flex conferences
are well known for their openness and transparency, they even tell you
how much they make! In that spirit, speakers at 360|Flex Atlanta started to share their session survey results.
I received my results
for 360 San Jose, and I'll share them with you. A lot of people told me
during the rest of the conference that they enjoyed the session, so I
was hoping to get good numbers in the survey ;)
cf.Objective() was a great conference, thank you to the organizers and
speakers! I was not able to attend to as many sessions as I wanted, but
just being able to talk at the lounge with super-smart people was worth
enough (Chris Scott, Maxim Porges, Brian Rinaldi, Andy Powell, and many
others). I had the feeling that anyone I would talk to would have
something interesting to say or something I could learn from. I haven’t
had that feeling for a long time, and it was great.
I think my
session went pretty well, thank you all for attending. I had been
preparing for the presentation for a few months, and thanks to Sean
Corfield, who asked for drafts, seconds drafts, release candidates and
final versions of the slides, I had the general flow of the talk long
ago. There were, as always, last minute changes, particularly because
we added features to Mate and changed the names of all the framework
tags the week before cf.Objective!
While I am looking at the mere 7 billable hours for the whole week, I can't help wondering why I enjoy developing open source software so much. A quick recap of the week reveals: making the distribution packages and testing the upgrade scripts for the new release of Mango Blog; fixing last minutes bugs encountered while testing the packages; answering questions in Mango's forums; making a new example and writing a tutorial for the soon-to-be-released Mate framework; writing missing documentation for Mate; working on the cf.Objective() presentation about Mate; preparing the audio files for the ColdFusion Weekly roundtable about Flex frameworks... Mmmh... Can you spot the pattern here? Most of my time was spent working on personal, open source projects.
