TARGET FORMAT (Duration): 4 Hours

AGENDA: I will be an attendee at an RMI course on Scrum. Successful projects are critical to those of us in software and web development. They’re not only critical to our jobs and careers but our long-term personal lives. We all need our projects to work- and not just for our bosses, our companies and our clients but for ourselves and our families.

Scrum works- when you get the right training from the start. Let us train you in one of the most successful new ways of conducting successful projects in just 4-short hours. We guarantee you’ll learn and apply successful techniques and tools for creating Successful Scrum Projects! Not only that, you’ll get real-world first-hand experience in putting the theory to use!

Tony Wong has been leading software projects for over 14 years; he has made all the mistakes so that you do not have to. Using his project management technique, Tony has increased project manager productivity by 400% using Scrum. Tony will share with you the best of tips, tricks and real-world secrets for creating successful Scrum projects.

TOPICS: I have two amazing topics bubbling in my head. It will shock and surprise the world which one I choose (or perhaps I’ll prepare and present both).

• TOPIC 1: “What’s New In Flex 4” aka “Why Should I Care About Flex?”
  • Adobe Flex 4* is updated with tons of must-have new features! MXML & AS3 (Flash 10) are faster and more potent, the component architecture & skinning model is game-changing, the Flash Builder 4 IDE is easier and more powerful than ever, and more! For newbies, there has never been a better time to jump into Flex, and for veterans this training will expose just what you need to augment your tool set. This will be an adapted from my “Top 10 Flex 4 Features” presentation.
• TOPIC 2: “Creating Biological Life with Flex 4”
  • I review a biological definition of life (7 qualifications such as ‘growth’, ‘metabolism’, & ‘reproduction’) and showcase a simulation of digital-amoebas that meet the criteria. The code will be available to attendees to contribute their own micro-life-forms to the project.  The high-level concept is to compare bio-life to digital-life by analyzing the Object Oriented principles and AS3 concepts which power such creatures.

AUDIENCE: Beginner to advanced Flash and Flex Developers who want to mix the joys of learning, the thrills of travel, and the rewards of relaxation.

TAKE-AWAY: Attendees will be inspired and recharged!!!
