Thanks to all who stayed till the last session of the last day of MAX 2009 to watch my talk “Tackling Memory and Performance in Flash, Flex, and Adobe AIR“. I hope it was worth your while!

Thanks to Jonathan Campos for working together with me on prepping the session on short notice during MAX and talking at the Tuesday session, it was an honor, and pretty fun too.

Here are some links to the assets:

1. Slides/Resource link PDFs

2. FXPs of the demos I used during the talk

3. Resource links page online

Also, for those that couldn’t make it, here’s a screen cast of the presentation which is embedded below.

Today at 5pm Pacific Time I will be pinch hitting a talk on Flash Player and AIR memory and performance.  I found out about it on Saturday evening and have worked with Jonathan Campos – he presented the session on Tuesday – throughout the week to come up with some slides and demos.  If you’re at MAX and the following description sounds appealing to you, come join me in room 411 at 5pm.

Tackling Memory and Performance in Flash, Flex, and Adobe AIR

Learn everything you need to know about managing memory during the lifetime of your application. We’ll address how objects are created and deleted, how the garbage collector works, and how to debug your applications to find any leaks. We’ll also cover how you can monitor the memory and performance of your application using the Flash Builder 4 Profiler. You’ll walk away with code in hand that provides solutions to common problems likely to be encountered when creating a wide range of applications.

So here’s some screen casts I’ve recently recorded for some students of mine.  For those of you just getting started with Flex they might come in handy.  Oh and if you do watch all four it’ll be about two hours of content.  Enjoy!
