Hi Firdosh,

Sorry for the slow reply, I got stuck in Vegas because of the
snowstorm and have yet to find my way home from my trip.

Here is a description and a bio thing for later if you need one.

OpenLaszlo Babelfish for OsFlash Speakers

This will be A translation service and introduction to the openlaszlo
landscape for osflash developers who are  curious about openlaszlo. It
will assume the audience is fairly experienced with traditional
actionscript coding and is curious about openlaszlo from a developer's
standpoint. I'm a technologist, not an evangelist; so this won't be a
sales pitch. I will mention where I think the best niches are for the
various lanugages, but comparisons will be mainly for perspective, not
to sell them on laszlo over something else. Examples will be for
comparison, not to wow the crowd.

One area of focus will be some of the language features of lzx and how
they relate to ones that the osflash community is already familiar
with. Dataproviders, binding, event handling, initialization order of
components, the arpish analogs for normal application development with
an lzx version of pizzaservice.

Another is to show where someone would look to start adding different
pieces of functionality to openlaszlo depending on it's type, where
would a library go, vs a component  vs an enhancement to the media
transcoder or language compiler. I'm not sure yet to what degree this
will be based on OL 3.3 which I'm most familiar with, or OL4.0 which
is just coming out and has undergone some significant changes to
support multiple runtime engines.

Along the way I'll show some nice templating features of Komodo Edit
for Laszlo development (and other languages) and at the end I will
talk a bit about things that are on the deck for the near future.

About me. All I wanted to do is create graphic novels of plays "The
Three Penny Opera" in the style of Max Beckmann. I started out as an
illustrator, but somhow got off track and went back to school for an
ms in computer science. I've been working for about a dozen years now.
I designed and programmed a lot of multimedia educational cd software
for about 5 years. As the web became popular, I found myself doing
more and more Flash programming - where I think my greatest job skill
was an extreeme tollerance for fustration. When Laszlo went open
source, my curiosity drew me in and I was increasingly impressed with
and absorbed by it until I found work doing it as well. I'm currently
a contractor for Troy Web Consulting which is a great bunch of
technologists and I'm getting my Flex skills up to par with my
actionscript and lzx skills, just in time for Flash9 and Laszlo4 to
come out. It's a great time for curious people, but continuing bad
news for any bohemian aspirations that I once had.
