Adobe Flex Profiler at ColdFusion Conference

Rob Rusher, Principal Consultant of On3 and an industry-wide Adobe expert, will present an advanced primer on Adobe Flex Profiler at the upcoming ColdFusion Conference—being held April 22-24, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis, MN. The conference is the first to concentrate entirely on the most advanced and cutting-edge techniques. The Adobe Flex training session is a “must” for advanced Flex developers who want to better understand how Adobe Flex Profiler can identify and fix performance issues in Flex applications.

Rusher will provide Adobe Flex training for developers to take applications to the next level, as companies increasingly expect user interfaces that “sparkle”, very rapid response times for rich applications even under peak load conditions. Rusher’s presentation, “Perfect Performance Profiling,” will look at how the Flex profiler can identify performance issues by taking snapshots of data at very short intervals and recording what Adobe Flash Player is doing at the time. The Adobe Flex training session will teach the skills that decrease learning curves for developers and enable them to start in on building new and cutting edge Rich Internet Applications for meeting in-house demands.

Developers will learn the tools that maximize the exceptional functionality and versatility of Adobe Flex and allow them to quickly and easily create fast, responsive and efficient interactive applications with extraordinary data visualization—which would otherwise be difficult and time consuming to produce.

Those who attend the seminar have the opportunity to learn in a small and focused environment from a leading authority in Adobe Flex consulting. Rob Rusher is a veteran of helping developers to rapidly increase their knowledge and skills with Adobe Flex to successfully build Rich Internet Applications for organizational goals. Rusher is an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE), Professional (ACP), and Instructor (ACI). As the Principal Consultant at On3, he has mentored teams within the most preeminent companies in Adobe Flex and ColdFusion training. A long time collaborator of Adobe, he has been sought for his knowledge to author the ColdFusion and Flex certification exams, as well as the Certified AIR training course. He has co-authored four best-selling books on building secure, cutting-edge and rapidly developed applications using Adobe AIR, ColdFusion and Flex. Rusher is also very active in organizing and speaking at Adobe conferences and user groups as he continues to creatively grow his knowledge of progressive platforms in his work with On3.

Rusher will be one of many top expert speakers within the ColdFusion community at the upcoming cf.Objective() 2010 Conference. The advanced themes and presentations of the conference are designed to teach skills that solve real-world software challenges. The Adobe Flex Profiler session is an opportunity for developers from all over the world to gain from Adobe Flex consulting that brings organizational Web interfaces to the next level.

We’ve been working with the Swiz framework for Flex development for a while now, in addition to PureMVC for Actionscript 3 , and we’re quite glad that they now have a Swizframework.org site up. But we did not see a set of ASDocs for Swiz, so…   With a little bit of finagling, we generated the Swiz 0.6.2 API Reference.

To meet the team from On3 who work with the Swiz Framework, simply fill out the form on the contact us page,  e-mail us On3[at] On3solutions [dot] com, or call us at 1-877-885-7044.

More info on Rob Rusher’s Flex blog and at Adobe Open Source Site.

Please join On3 and Adobe Systems in a FREE full-day, hands-on training session, where you will learn how to build your first Flex application using the latest Flash Builder 4 beta software. This training is designed to help experienced ColdFusion developers get started in understanding how to add rich UI to existing and new ColdFusion applications. You will need to bring your laptop to the session as you will be using Flash Builder 4 together with ColdFusion 9 to create your first Flex application. New ColdFusion 9 features will also be reviewed in the session.

If you are an experienced ColdFusion developer and you’ve looked at Flex before and had trouble getting started, we think you will find that the new Flash Builder 4 will make Flex more approachable. Don’t miss out on this rare, free full-day classroom training opportunity!

SCENE: RIA Arena, night. The seats surrounding the ring are filled with thousands of raucous fans. In the ring are a REFEREE and the two CONTENDERS, ADOBE FLEX and MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT.

Referee: In this corner: the undisputed heavyweight champion of the application programming world – Adobe Flex!

(Cheers and applause from spectators)

Referee (cont’d): And in the far corner, the challenger – Microsoft Silverlight!

(Boos and catcalls from spectators)

Focus turns to the broadcast booth, where sportscasters BUTCH BARDSDALE and SPIKE SPAVINS are seated before old-time stainless steel microphones.

Spike: Good evenin’, ladies and joyms, from Rich Internet Application Arena. I’m Spike Spavins -

Butch: And I’m Butch Bardsdale.

Spike: Tonight, we’re bringin’ you live – da match of da century – Adobe Flex vesus Microsoft Silverlight!

Butch: Well, Spike – dis should turn out to be a battle royale.

Spike: Yes it should, Butch. And we are predictin’ a serious grudge match, here. Adobe Flex has a lot of fans here tonight – an’  Microsoft Silverlight is nuttin’ more den an upstart punk new-comer -

Butch: Da one ting Microsoft gots behind him is a lotta bucks and marketing power.

Spike: Dat’s true, Butch – da guy what owns Silverlight is a heavy hitter, and he’s got muscle.

Butch: There’s a lot of folks who say that Silverlight’s owner ‘s been throwing his weight around too much and fer too long.

Spike: Mebbe so, Butch – but Adobe’s got age and experience. Dis may turn out to be a contest of brains over brawn.

In the ring, a scantily-clad brunette smiles broadly, strutting across the area holding up a sign upon which is written, “ROUND 1.”

The bell rings and the two contenders come out swinging.

Butch: And so it begins – Adobe gettin’ in some good punches dere wit’ its Flash-based platform.

Spike: Dat’s one ting Microsoft Silverlight can’t compete with -

Suddenly, ADOBE FLEX gets in a roundhouse punch square in the face of MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT, causing the latter to stagger backwards.

Spike (cont’d): Ooh – dat’s gotta hoit.

Butch: But look – Silverlight’s comin’ back at ‘im wit’ cross-platform compatibility!

In the ring,  MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT throws windmill punches using both Windows and MacOS. However,  ADOBE FLEX has his guard up and sneaks in an extra punch with Linux – right in SILVERLIGHT’S eye.

Spike: Did you see dat?!?

Butch: Indeed I did, Spike. Silverlight may have dat double Windows-Mac whammy, but Adobe was dere foist – and gots da Linux punch as well.

Spike: Silverlight’s trying to get in some punches wit’ da Java hook – but Adobe sees it comin and gets in anudder hit to da left wit’ its separate an’ secure Flash plug-in tucked away in ‘is Sandbox environment!

SILVERLIGHT continues to lash out at ADOBE, to no avail.

Butch: Wit’ ‘is fancy footwork – t’anks to da fact that he kin go anywhere – Adobe is keepin’ Silverlight at arms’ length -

Spike: Looks like Silverlight’s startin’ ta wear out like a cheap pair o’ shoes. He can’t even git close ta Adobe!

Butch: But what’s goin’ on? Silverlight’s getting’ a second wind -

Indeed he is; SILVERLIGHT makes a brief comeback, swinging hard with his dedicated developer tools, particularly Expression Blend; however, ADOBE is able to block it with Adobe Catalyst every time.

Finally, ADOBE delivers the knockout blow with a hard AMF to the side of the head; SILVERLIGHT collapses to the mat.

Referee: One…! Two…! Three…! (etc.)

Spike: Willya look at dat! Silverlight just folded up like an old accordion!

Butch: Dat’s because Silverlight’s .NET wuz never more den a cheap imitation of Adobe’s ActionScript! He couldn’t stand up -

Referee: Eight…! Nine…! Ten!!

Spike: And dat’s it fer Silverlight – down fer da count!

Butch: Down and out! Da Flex remains – undisputed champion!

The crowd goes wild as the referee holds up ADOBE’S arm in triumph and the scantily-clad brunette plants a kiss on his cheek and throws a garland around his neck.
