Has he gone mad I hear you say. He did say 60 minutes. Yes 60 minutes to develop an application (not a widget). Obviously in the true style of Blue Peter there will be a bit of prep and code for the talk will be available for download before hand.
However the point here is not to stand and lecture on how you can build applications in Flex 2, but to get you to do it as well. So if you have a laptop, a copy of Flex Builder 2 (or the beta of Flex Builder 3) and want to join in this is for you. If you don’t then don’t worry, participation is not mandatory.
What are we going to make… Well let’s keep that a surprise.
