360Flex we ran into Bernd Paradies at Panera Bread
It's getting close to "go" time so Tom and I were taking a short break at the Panera Bread, and guess who was sitting a big fluffy chair working, Bernd Paradies, 360|Flex Speaker, and all around good guy.
"Hey Bernd, how are you, man?" I ask as Tom orders us some muffins and drinks.
"Hey guys, I was just working on my presentation for the conference, this place always gives me the quiet I need to concentrate."
Handing me my coffee and a chocolate chip muffin, Tom asks, "Who should come to your session?"
Making sure to save his work, Bernd grabs his cup, looks like tea, and answers, "Flex developers that are interested in developing AIR apps or SWFs that can communicate with Adobe products like Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator."
"that's great I can just image some very cool use cases for that type of ability." I answer, sitting in a chair across from him, sitting my laptop down on the small coffee table. "Why should they come?"
"I'll show them how to do it."
Nodding sagely, Tom asks, sitting down in his own chair, "I would like to get Flex developers interested in SwitchBoard and PatchPanel so some of them might go to Adobe Labs and download the SDKs."
Tom takes a bite of some sort of scone thing he had picked out. Taking two chews, his face screwed up and he tried to discreetly remove the offending scone thing from his mouth, "What two sessions are you looking forward to most?"
Bernd is watching Tom as he tried to casually remove the scone. He looks down at his laptop, makes a few changes, and answers, "Adam Flater - How to make your AIR app blow up with Merapi"
"Jacob Wright - Advanced ActionScript APIs"
Enjoying my chocolate chip muffin while Tom returns to the counter, I reply, "Yeah I've seen Adam's Merapi demo at a User Group meeting. Sweet stuff! So, Bernd what should Tom and I be telling people that are on the fence about coming to 360|Flex San Jose?"
"That's easy, I'll demo Photoshop CS4 with a PatchPanel SWF."
He's right, folks go nuts for future product previews, I know I do! If you want to see a preview of CS4, and chill with Bernd, Tom and I and the other 40 some odd speakers in San Jose, you'd better register now!
