Next week I am going to be explaining the Flex Component Lifecycle to another group where I work. I think understanding the cycle is a major step in understanding the Flex framework and how to utilize it. I created a spiffy presentation to keep me on topic. I think it should to stand on its own, and would appreciate any feedback. I purposefully avoided switching to Flex/Flash Builder so that I wouldn’t be tempted to try and explain everything as I typed.

I used sliderocket for the first time and have been very impressed. Once my trial is over and I’m relegated to the free version I’ll pass judgment. If you get to click happy it freaks out about transitions though, so may sure text has completely faded in/appeared before clicking or it’ll start acting odd. No sound to worry about, it’s all slides.

My biggest source was Mrinal Wadhwa’s similar presentation which provided a lot of inspiration and some things I could steal to make myself seem smarter than I am. I based my Elastic Racetrack and Marshal explanations on a great post on Craftymind.

  1. Awespme presentation, Well done. The content is bang on and represented in the perfect visual manner. The Birth box jumps around a bit which was offputting, but nothing major.

  2. Hey Matt,
    The presentation was great, it was more clear and concise than most live presentations I’ve seen. I really enjoyed it.

    One thing to note, on slide 47, I believe “flexable” should be “flexible.”

  3. Thanks for the heads up. Spelling not one of my strong suits, but all it takes is a single misspelled word to ruin the impact.

  4. Hi Matt,

    Awesome presentation ! Very nicely explained.
    I’m glad my slides were helpful :)
