I recently received all of the feedback and comments from both my Max sessions and my presentation at the Chicago Web Design Conference. I was amazed at the number of people who took the time to write really detailed critiques about what they liked and what they would like to see changed in future presentations.
So, thank you. It’s appreciated.

Here is the carousel component that goes along with ‘Creating New Flex Components’ (RA208W), my Max 2007 presentation. This is a sample component designed to show how the major component lifecycle methods work and interact. This version makes some bad assumptions: the scale of all included items will be 100% and that items will not be added dynamically, to name a couple. If this were a production level component some additional work should be done to address these issues.
Further, a lot of the logic that determines the movement and positioning of items should really be factored out into a different class.I believe that using a strategy pattern in a lot of these cases would lead to better components and more maintainable code. However, this code is about the lifecycle methods and isn’t intended to be a reference on component implementation best practices.
That said, I replaced some of the more boring images from my talk with images from www.chicagopictures.net (special thanks to Don Brown for permission to use these images). As the balance of you never made it outside of the conference facility, I thought you might like to see what was beyond the giant walls of McCormick place. Check out the online version (source included) or download the code samples attached to this post.
Coming up in the next few days: The next posts on ObjectProxy and an introduction to the revised unit testing framework we have been diligently tackling.

A mere 33 days until Max North America.
As we are lucky enough to have Max in our home city of Chicago this year, my colleague Steve Lund has put together the ‘Max Attendees Guide to Chicago‘. It is a guide to local bars, restaurants and activities that are in a reasonable and workable distance from McCormick West (the conference location).
We will continue to update this page with new links and information that might enhance your visit and help make this a fantastic Max experience.
Looking forward to seeing you all in person,
