Good News/Bad News: I'm Speaking at 360Flex San Jose

I was notified last night by 360Flex's Tom and John that I will be speaking at their next conference being held in San Jose, California on August 18-20. I submitted several topics to speak on, and they decided that my internationalization (I18N) topic was the one that they wanted me to speak about. I18N actually stands for Internationalization - "where 18 stands for the number of letters between the i and the n in internationalization" - Wikipedia. When I originally suggested the topic to Tom via instant message, he responded "I18N?", so the session is titled "I18N: Tom Ortega Doesn't Know It, But You Should ;-)." See the full schedule here.

Now for the bad news: I am in the last session of the conference. And I am up against Ryan Stewart's "Synchronization with AIR and LiveCycle DS." I mean seriously, Tom and John. Where is the love?

I'll be blogging about the progress I am making with this presentation, although I have already made quite a bit of progress with the presentation because I am currently using it with two projects and was putting together training for Roundbox Global's Interactive Engineering team on the subject.

Again, thanks to the 360Flex team for accepting my submission!

hey, at least you got some love! Seems I was a day late and a dollar short with my submission on Janitorial work and Flex...hehe...no really.

If I am in San Jose for this, I'll be sure and snub Ryan's session...who needs LCDS and AIR anyway? Having recently worked with resourceManager stuff in Flex, your session is certainly important!

Naw, you'll have people in your audience... unless YOU decide to attend Ryan's session.

Have you never heard, "Save the best for last?"

Hello, if you are in the same slot as Ryan Stewart that must mean we have faith in you to draw in the crowds. Don't let us down! :)

Good to see that somebody else in US has interest for i18N stuff. :)

I will present i18N with Flex and Air in Webmaniacs this Thursday.

Hmm, a good start would be fixing i18N support in your blog. :)

I just started to work with Flex 4.1 and the first test I needed to do was i18n. I used your session to figure some of the stuff out. It works, which is the result I needed. It is very similar to doing it with JSP of JSF.

Advanced examples would be useful too, like how to generate something like this:

"There were 32 records out of 50 that matched."

The point to this example is that the numbers 32 and 50, in some languages, would not be stated in the same order (i.e. 50 would be shown first, then 32).

I know how to do it in java code but not in Flex yet.

Another point you might want to stress is that the database should be setup for UTF-8 from the getgo, because if you add foreign languages contents later they may not get stored correctly.
