360Flex Jeffry Houser at the Movies

Tom and I decide to take a short break, hitting the theater to see the Incredible Hulk (Go see it, it's good!). Guess who we bump into at the concession stand? Jeffry Houser of DotComIt!

"Hey Jeff! Taking a break from prepping your 360|Flex presentation?" I ask as we get in line behind him. There's a line situation ahead of us; Traffic's backed up. The guy at the head of the line seems to be confused by the Jujubes and Whoppers. Oh great! "So who do you think you'll get in your session?"

"Anyone interested in learning how to build Flex Components for their applications." Jeff says, trying not to reach up and choke Mr. Now-what-about-Gobstoppers? "Adobe has spent a lot of time building components for the Flex Framework. But, for normal development you do not need to create components that are as flexible or bullet proof as the ones in the Flex Framework. Come to my presentation if you want to learn how to build Flex Components for real world applications. And if you want to bullet proof your stuff, I'll provide an introduction to that too."

Tom looks over at the line next to us. Of course, it's moving faster since there's now some guy going on about Sour Patch Kids in ours. Tom starts to get anxious as he really likes his previews. "What's the goal of your session?"

Jeff looks at the line next to us too, "To get people thinking about flexible and reusable code."

Mr. Sour Patch Kids has finally gotten out of line with nothing more than a nacho and large mega gulp of Mtn. Dew. Yeah, no Sour Patch Kids, go figure.

Jeff steps up and orders his Reese's Pieces. Tom asks, "What two sessions are you looking forward to most?"

Jeff hands the cashier his money and waits for change, "Chris Keeler's session on High Dev video. I hear he is gonna talk about lighting and production aspects. Samuel Asher Rivello's session on creating an MMO From scratch sure sounds like fun. I had no idea Blizzard only spent 59 minutes on WoW, but can't wait to start my own company doing that."

"Yeah really! I'm dying to know what that's all about." I say, ordering my large popcorn with extra butter. I know it's not really butter, or even really dairy for that matter, but it's so good!! "What would you like to tell people about 360|Flex if they're on the fence about attending?"

Heading towards the auditorium, Jeff says, "I hear you're gonna have root beer Floats on tap. I have no idea how that works, but can't wait to see it."

Looking at Tom with a I didn't know that look on my face, "Me too."

This will be Jeff's third time hanging with us, Seattle and Atlanta being the other two. We can't wait to chill with him again! Be sure to find Jeff and praise him for all his hard work on The Flex Show podcast. If you're lucky, he may interview you for the show!
