Steve,
Thank you. I'm glad to be a part of this conference. I have included
the requested information below along with a modified proposal for a
hands on session. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank
you.
>> Please email a 1-2 paragraph biography to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] that highlights your experience with Flex so that
we may post it to the conference web site.

>> Also, please
specify in your email your top 2 choices for airports to fly to DC. Fig
Leaf will make all of your travel reservations for the conference.
I will not require a flight, as I live in the D.C. area.
>>While we have filled all available lecture spots, we still need
speakers for several hands-on seminars. Please let us know if you can
modify your presentation for a hands-on audience.
I would like to offer a toned down version
of my "Working with Binary Files in Apollo" session proposal as a hands
on session. I have been given permission to make mention of Apollo in
the description and believe that this would be a very popular session
due to the buzz that's likely to be around Apollo at that time. I feel
confident that I can guide all attendees through the basics of parsing
an example file with embedded images (which is not as complicated as it
sounds), while making them comfortable with the File IO and ByteArray
APIs. I'll also be showing some cool demonstration apps to keep things exciting
and show how useful this knowledge is. I have included the proposal below.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your
consideration.
Working with Binary Files in Apollo
Adobe's Flex 2
framework introduced developers to ActionScript 3 and a totally revamped
runtime which gives them unprecedented access to byte level information. With
the introduction of Adobe Apollo this access is being extended to the desktop,
including the ability to read and write local files. In this hands-on session
Ben will guide attendees through reading binary data using the ByteArray class
in Flex 2, from the ones and zeros to an entire file, and give an overview of
the file API introduced in Apollo. Attendees will learn how to read information
from an existing file format and understand best practices for creating their
own custom
files using ActionScript 3 and the Flex framework.
