Name of the Summit

Day of the Summit

Descriptional Text

Even if FlexJS is a sub-project of the Apache Flex project, it's where more than 90% of our development efforts goes to.

With FlexJS we are going to remove the hard requirement on the Flash Player and make it possible to build Flex applications targeted directly at the browser. With FlexJS we not only have the ability to write JavaScript application in a strongly typed manner, we also provide a way out of the dead-end for teams that have been developing in Flex. Prior to FlexJS the only option for Flex applications to be ported to the browser, was to learn a new language, get used to new tools and frameworks and rewrite them from scratch. With FlexJS we offer a shortcut.

The Flex team is preparing on releasing the FlexJS in version 1.0 and we will be using this summit to get new people on board, to get input from our users towards which features are really needed for a 1.0 and to sync our team towards our common goal. 

Come join us, if you want to be a part of this great community and help us prepare the next big thing in web-development.
