Hey James. great preso. I was wondering, where can I get those cool adobe max wallpapers?

Thanks for publishing the presentation! I attended it and it was really helpful to figure out how to include BlazeDS (and the Spring Framework) in a project I am currently working on. So it was not only fun, but also useful :-)

Hi Chris,

That didn’t happen for me. See if you can download the whole thing here:

Stopped at 39% (44.9MB) in both Firefox and IE. I managed to watch the whole presentation on Effexts and skinning though…

Thanks

Ok, it seems that Screencast.com does funky things with packets. So here is the download from my site:

Let me know if that works.

Yep - that seems to have worked.

Thanks for your help - really useful presentation.

This was by far most informative presentation I ever saw on Flex. It was very helpful and has gotten me excited about using flex in my next project. I tried downloading Flex 3 SDK, BlazeDS, Flex eclipse plug in, and LCDS. I want to use tomcat as the server. It would really help if you could post the steps on installation and configuration etc. Particularly, when I try to create a new flex project (J2EE type) it asks me for the flex server location. Where is that? I tried googling and could not find anything.

Any step-by-step would help. A simple tutorial that walks me through where to download, what to download, how to setup and finally how to create a J2EE Flex project.

If anyone knows where I could find such a tutorial, please let me know.

Thanks for all this good stuff.

Farhan.
