Learn how to create usable data-centric applications that show just the right amount at the right time: useful, but not overwhelming. With Adobe LiveCycle Data Services, if you try to force too much data into a display, or don't provide enough data at a time, your tool likely won't be of much practical use. The principle at work here is information density, and it's a key concept all Flex developers who deal in large data sets should (and can) master.

Explore advanced techniques in using the data-centric development features of Adobe Flash Builder to build an application with Flex and a server-side technology. You'll gain an understanding of how to take advantage of features in Flash Builder, including client-side data management, data paging, and reusing value objects. This session introduces you to topics like customizing generated code to work with MVC frameworks, deploying applications developed using DCD, and lots of other tips and tricks.

Join us for a session on Flex and PHP integration and some of the workflows that can streamline your work with these two technologies. You'll learn how to use the tools together (Flash Builder and Eclipse for PHP), set up a Flex/PHP project, debug Flex and PHP code using Flash Builder features and XDebug, use the data-centric development features, and leverage the Doctrine 2 PHP libraries with Flex.

Dave Watts from Fig Leaf Software demonstrates the use of ColdFusion 9 ORM to generate value objects and gateways in CF, and how those can be translated into AS3 classes in Flex.
