Get The Tour de Flex DVD

The Adobe Platform Evangelism team has created a DVD so that everyone can take the Tour de Flex! Included in the DVD is:

If you or someone you love needs to experience Flex…
If you attend a user group with members that need to behold the beauty of Flex…
If you have friends / colleagues that have not yet experienced the joy of Flex…

… Then please email gwilson at adobe dot com with the subject of “Flex DVD” and with the following info:

  • Your mailing address
  • Number of DVDs you need
  • Reason you need so many
  • Reason you don’t need more
  • Reason you still have a DVD player in your computer (come on people it’s 2009!)

We hope that this will help every developer, every where, experience the love of Flex.

UPDATE: For now the DVD is only available in the US. More details on Greg Wilson’s blog.

    I love the picture with the Macbook pro behind it.

    Did you James let go of your Linux laptop ?

    BTW great initiative, I may order a couple of them, provided you can ship them to Paris, France ;^)

    Cheers !

    Haha. No Mac for me. Greg Wilson took the picture. I still have a ThinkPad with Ubuntu Linux.

    I’ll check and see if we can send them internationally.

    Hi James,
    I listened to your Flex/Spring integration presentation last night at the Phoenix JUG. I was the guy that annoyed you with a lot of questions :). It was a great presentation. I have another question for you regarding the browser communication issue you demonstrated with primary and alternate channels. Is that a browser per-website issue or just a browser instance issue? In other words, is every browser limited that way, is it just IE, do Firefox, or Safari behave this way? How about Chrome with its effective separate process per-tab instance? Thanks for putting up with stupid questions.

    Hi John,

    It was great having you ask all those keen questions! Thanks!

    The browsers decide how many concurrent connections they will give per server. And this can vary depending on the version of the browser. I’m not sure where to find out how many each browser gives but I do know that most of the internet surfing population are limited to two concurrent connections per server (or cname). I hope that helps.

    Why not upload the iso file to filesharing site or torrent site? Then that way everyone can experience the wonders of Flex regardless of which country they are in.

    Plus you save the environment with less postage / delivery :)
