This week I’m in Vegas for a few presentations. First one is at the Interop conference on Wednesday. Interop is a fun place for me because I get to hang out with networking / sys admin folks. In a past life I was a sys admin (thus the reason why I love vi). 
On Thursday night I am presenting at the Vegas Adobe User Group and really looking forward to meeting some of the Flex friends I’ve only known via email, blogs, twitter, etc.
I was also supposed to present at the local JUG but the meeting was canceled because there was a conflicting conference that everyone was going to be at. Oh-well. Time to go lose money instead!
About James Ward
James Ward is a Technical Evangelist for Flex at Adobe.

His adventures in climbing have taken him many places. Likewise, technology has brought him many adventures, including: Pascal and Assembly back in the early 90's; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid 90's; then Java and many of it's frameworks beginning in the late 90's. Today he primarily uses Flex to build beautiful front ends for Java based back ends. Prior to Adobe, James built a rich marketing and customer service portal for Pillar Data Systems.
