Pioneered by Bruce Eckel (famous C language book author) and modeled after sessions that bring musicians together to create something new and interesting, “Jams” take learning beyond the lecture/lab process. Lecture/lab learning works best in groups where everyone is at the same skill level. By bringing together Flex and developers of varying skill levels, the Flex Jam process allows everyone to work at their own skill level.

Note that James will also be speaking at the Detroit Java User Group in the evening on Tuesday, February 15.
James Ward is a Technical Evangelist for Flex at Adobe and Adobe’s JCP representative to JSR 286, 299, and 301. Much like his love for climbing mountains he enjoys programming because it provides endless new discoveries, elegant workarounds, summits and valleys. 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.
