Duane of Duane’s world visited Business Objects!
Posted in Flex on July 27th, 2008 by ShaunCatching up on a load of pd/vid casts this morning while enjoying a spot of rare sunshine in the garden I came up on an episode of Duane’s world in which he visits Business Objects in Canada.
As many of you already know I work for Business Objects (now an SAP company) and I’m not a little unimpressed that Duane’s visit appears to have gone unnoticed among the developer fraternity outside Canada. Ho hum… such is life in a large organisation, no doubt I’m not reading the right intranet pages.
Anyhow Duane is a pretty cool guy, ex musician and extreme sportsman, and now as an evangelist for Adobe he’s pretty good at sharing key skills to get you up and running as a Flex expert. in Episode 4 Duane visits BOBJ to hear about the new Flex version of one of BOBJ’s key applications and the SDK to go with it. He also shows how incredibly simple it is to hook up a chart to your own data.
I’ve been pretty busy learning Flex and developing a new tool for my company (hence the lack of posts recently) and i’m loving it. It’s not perfect (show me a language that is) - feel free to comment on that btw, but Flex is pretty neat, I’ve tried to commit to sharing the lessons i’ve learned on stuff before and if I can get over a lack of confidence, I’ll try and share what I’ve learned. Someone may get value out of it I’m sure.
Enjoy.
