Presentations from Webmaniacs

I gave two presentations at Webmaniacs- Flexbuilder/Eclipse Secrets and Tips, and Understanding AIR Security. You can download the presentations from the links. I especially enjoyed giving the Secrets and Tips, because it talks about patterns in software development, from a practical standpoint of our work patterns as developers and offering ways to  improve the experience of working with FB/Eclipse.

One of the things I really enjoyed about Webmaniacs was the high quality of attendees across the board. I met a tremendous number of smart people doing interesting things in the software industry from all across the US and several other countries. I also really enjoyed the more intimate feel of the conference due to its limited size. Don't get me wrong, I love going to Adobe MAX, but the size of the conference has become a hindrance to deeper interactions with people in the community, and I felt Webmaniacs struck just the right balance- located in a more intimate, everyday space than a typical large conference at a convention center.
