Professional Jobs for Family [Video]


This week on DekePod Deke mentions doing high quality work for family. It is an interesting problem I’ve been faced with a few times. His solution – fake it.

I heart Deke.

Here are the slides from my 360|MAX unconference presentation on Cairngorm and Zend AMF. Let me know if anything is unclear.

MAX Bound!

We are at the airport waiting to fly out. So stoked!

Cairngorm and Zend AMF [360|MAX]

I will be presenting at 360|MAX on Nov 19th from 3:30-4:30pm.  I will be doing some walkthrough and explanation of Cairngorm and Zend AMF.  To speed up the demos I will be using Cairngen.  I also have created a screencast on setting up Cairngen in Flex Builder 3.

You can find details on the schedule.

Update: The presentation went well. Thanks 360|Conferences, Wade Arnold, and those who showed up. You can find the slides below.

Setting Up Cairngen in Flex Builder 3

Lately I’ve been working in Cairngen in Flex Builder 3 and I found that there wasn’t a whole lot of documentation on getting that setup, so I created a screencast (video tutorial) on it.

In the tutorial I mention a few links.  I included them below if you need them.

Adobe Flash Player 10

It is here.  Let’s get it rolled out at as quick as possible.  I harness some of its awesomeness, but it is much easier to convince the bosses if the software penetration is good.

Download the regular version here.

For the debug you can find it in the Flash Player 10 update for OS X and Windows here.
