Since the details weren’t 100% finalized until this week, I held off on mentioning that I’d be on stage at next week’s 360 Flex conference. Myself, along with the rest of the Yahoo! Flash Platform team, will be unveiling some new ActionScript 3 libraries that allow Flash and Flex developers access to our public APIs. I’ll save the details for our sessions on Monday night and Tuesday morning, but we’ve got some cool examples and mashups to show. These two sessions, by the way, will each have different content so be sure to attend both.

In addition to our API sessions, you should also attend one of the cool company get togethers on Monday night. After you grab a bite from the barbecue, head over to meetings put on by Yahoo!, Adobe, and eBay. You’ll get to hear about some cool projects being built inside each of these companies, and they’ll tell you a bit about current Flash and Flex developer openings. Get your foot in the door and have a chat with representatives from all three of these cool companies!

I mentioned it before, but now’s another good opportunity. Coming this June, you’ll have another chance to meet with a bunch of rabid Flex lovers. Flex Maniacs will be in Washington D.C. on June 25th-26th. I’ll be speaking there too. Rather than focusing on Yahoo! work, I’ll be doing a session about my cool open source TreeMap component for Flex. Specifically, I hope to cover some interesting advanced techniques with optimization, data descriptors, and other fun stuff like that.

Keep you travel calendar open this year because Flex is taking over in a big way!
