利用某種權利得到了一張MAX conference的兩日Free Pass, 上星期四五就 join了這個嘆為觀止的conference.
神枱級講者如2Advanced的Tong和Eric (係, 就是勁到不能的Eric Jordan), iteration::two的Steven Webster和Mark Anders等等. 不過要數經典, 都莫過於是初過Flex的威力.
之前的Flex對我來說絕對是陌生, Flex 1及1.5都吸引不到我去試試這個SOFTWARE. 沒有去到Keynote session, 但由朋友口中對Flex的驚嘆度幻想到它的威力, 就決定兩日的conference聽聽Flex 2有多厲害.
RIA (Rich Internet Application)是Flex的賣點, 它有自己的一套language, 同時可以和幾種lanugage mix&match. Flex本身是Open Source, 用開eclipse的你可以download Flex for eclipse的plug-in使用flex的function. (Eclipse是非常好用的Java IDE, 如果你想學或剛學java或者討厭你現在用的IDE, 轉用Eclipse啦!) xml在flex裡面是個essential. 不懂xml的使用時可能會有點苦, 但問題該不大. Flex 2 Builder Alpha已經可以download使用. 如果你是哪種打開FLASH只會打Script的人, Flex 2 Builder Alpha還有一個function: 建立as檔. 根據Steven webster和mark anders說, 他們現在都只用Flex builder做flash了.

MAX Conference後記:
Action Script 3和Flash Player 8.5的確令人期待, 但自己連player 8的function還未試過. 還有, Director看來真的會消失, 整個conference都看不到它的半個蹤影.
