Brilliant Ideas That I'Ve Blatantly Stolen
The world of Flash/Flex development may seem big, but it is just a tiny spec in the universe of software development. I have spent a lot of time over the past few years with digital pith helmet on exploring other languages, frameworks, and development strategies. Like any good old time explorer I then stole what I wanted and went back home! This presentation is all about sifting through that treasure and finding the real gems that make development easier, faster, and more fun.
