O’Reilly: Inside RIA

Kevin Shuttle already beat me to the proverbial punch with his review, but I'd to share some of my thoughts on a recent Boston based conference called RIA Unleashed. This developer focused event was recently held at Bentley College, Waltham,...

Boston was home to the RIAUnleashed conference on Friday, November 13, and was jam-packed with Flex, AIR, ColdFusion and other RIA goodness. What was so unique to me about this conference was the fact that not only were the speakers...

This has been a great year for events in the Flex and ColdFusion communities, and it's certainly not over yet. On November 13, 2009 RIA Unleashed is happening at Bentley University in Waltham, MA (Boston area). This event is offering several things that make me really excited!

In this episode we talked all the exciting preparations and announcements for MAX with Rachel Luxemburg. We also discussed certification, Adobe Groups, Community Experts, and Flash Camps. Val Head joins us briefly to talk about FlashPitt.

Recently, Flash Camp Atlanta was announced, and it will happen on August 28th at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta. This event is shaping up to be an amazing one!

jQuery Conference 2009 has been announced.

Flash on the Beach is fast approaching this year, tickets are selling out faster than ever and we're promised this is going to be the best yet! But don't just take my word for it, I managed to wrangle a few minutes from John Davey, organiser and head honcho of Flash on the Beach, to ask him a few questions about why this is one of the hottest events on the conference calendar.

In fine tradition, Microsoft Australia hosted its version of the annual MIX event in Sydney. The conference, aptly named REMIX, featured the upcoming Silverlight 3, SketchFlow and Blend 3 products, though, much to my chagrin, somewhat superficially.

I have finally recovered from Flash On Tap in Boston and all I can say is WOW! It was truly an incredible conference and the start of something epic. Even though this was the first time holding this conference, the quality of speakers and attendees was on par with what I could have expected from a well established event. I really have to thank Infrared 5 and Influxis for putting on an amazing conference.

Before I begin my cheerful rave about the newest conference on the Flash Platform circuit, let me sum it up in 3 words: Boston. Beer. Flash. Unlike any conference you have ever been to, Flash on Tap was equally about...

I have had many inquiries from those who wish to speak at the inaugural InsideRIA conference. I am now happy to announce that the call for papers is now open. For more information please visit the http://www.insideriacon.com. One thing to note is that due to price and length of the show, there has been no budget allocated for speaker travel or hotel. Please keep this in mind when submitting topics. If you don’t mind paying your own way though, we’ll consider your submission. With only 20ish slots, we were planning on a local speaker base. However, we won’t turn away non-locals who understand this limitation, yet still want to be part of this inaugural edition of the event.

It may surprise you to know that the Pacific region has its fair share of web talent. Having just been surrounded by most of them for the past couple of days, I can attest to the fact. This year was my first WebDU, and I'm still tingling.

I am sitting here waiting for my departure a little early from the 360Flex in Indianapolis, disappointed that I have to miss some excellent sessions this afternoon. This was my first 360Flex but I will not be missing any in the future if I have a choice. The content was top-notch and this is by far the single best place to network with other Flex developers, including most of the prominent names you may know well already. Tom Ortega and John Wilker really put on a great show that mixes the best content of a typical conference with a very relaxed and informal feel that is enjoyable.

With travel budgets under constraint, some tech industry conferences are contemplating going online-only for their conferences. An example of this was Aral Balkan's <head> conference that occurred in Oct 2008. My experience with conferences has been that attending them is...
