360Flex We bumped into Mary McDonald at Kinko's

Tom and I went to Kinkos the other day to pick up some signs for 360|Flex San Jose, and guess who was there? Mary McDonald, our pal from 360|Flex San Jose '07! It looked like she was picking up some fliers, some sort of bake sale for the Junior Foreign Legion or something.

"Hey Mary, long time no see! How've you been?" I shout across the Kinko's, lots of people look up from whatever weird things they were doing in a Kinko's in the middle of the day. I pointed at Tom real quick with a "He did it" look. As we get closer, I switch to my inside voice. "Hope you're excited about your session in San Jose. Who should come?"

She looks up from the stack of fliers. "Anyone interested in using Item Renderers in Flex."She thumbs through the stack, pulling out one that look a little askew.

"Why should they come?"

"To discuss the Item Renderer examples and things to avoid when writing Item Renderers."
The Kinko's guy takes the crooked sheet, looks it over, starts to ask who the junior Foreign Legion is, but stops, when Tom jumps in and asks, "What's the goal of your session?"

"I will explain what Item Renderers are and how they can be used to in Flex applications. I will also discuss things to avoid when incorporating Item Renderers into your Flex application. I will demonstrate how to apply In line and Custom Item Renderers to Datagrids."

Picking up a pack of 3 hole dividers that come in neon colors, I look over and ask, "What two sessions are you looking forward to most?"

"How to make money with Flex! With David Bigelow And Versioning Support for Large Applications and Portals with Alex Hanui." She grabs a few packages of envelopes, looks like the Junior Foreign Legion fliers are hitting the postal service too.

Wann see what Mary has to say about Item Renderers? Join her in Alex or Dave's sessions? Register now, waiting is for losers!

It's kind of odd that you keep running into people. I think you're stalking us...
