Sunday looks to be even better than Saturday.  Take a peek at the schedule below:

8 am to noon – AM Session

noon to 12:30 pm – Lunch

12:30 to 4:30 – PM Session

Both the AM Session and PM Session blocks are repeats of the same content: one room for Mate, one for Cairngorm and one for PureMVC.  This allows each attendee to learn about 2 different frameworks.

The speaker breakdown is as follows:

Harry Garland – Mate

Tom Ortega – Cairngorm – Session Files: CGFramework Source Sample App

Keith Sutton – PureMVC

See you there!  It’s not too late too register either.  Come down to register in person or register online.  Today is only $99.

One thing I’ve never liked about a lot of training out there is that while you build pieces of an app, you don’t build the whole thing.  There’s always things skipped, code prewritten for you, so you never get that continuous feel of going from nothing to finished product.  That will not be the case here.

We will be building a simple survey app that asks questions and displays the results.  Since it is November, I thought it would be fun to incorporate that in to app.  Here’s the splash screen:

There’s no styling in the screen shot.  (Hey, I don’t want to give it all away before you show up!)  But you will learn how to not only build the app, but then add styling and cool animation effects that we know and love Flex for.

The core concepts that will be taught are ones you will (or should be) using every day in your Flex development job.  You will learn how to layout applications, break it up in to components, reuse those components to speed up development.

I’m very excited and am probably creating far too many labs for us to work through, but better to have too much than not enough.  Don’t worry, the labs work will be staggered.  We’ll touch an area, leave room for improvement, then move to the next.  This way we’re guaranteed to get a working app that we can then go back later and add some more finishing touches.

On Sunday, we’ll then take this app and recreate it in 3 different frameworks: Cairngorm, PureMVC and Mate.  You’ll learn how not only to build an app, but then also how to add a framework to help ease further development.

For those of you already registered, it’s gonna be a blast!  For those not registered, hurry up there’s still time!  Register now for the low price of $149 for both days.
