Hi Everyone,

We're in the process of moving The Flex Show web site from one server to another. There is a lot of content to move, so please bear with us while we get it uploaded.

We are extremely thankful for FusionLink for handling our content and server load for as long as they did. They have been overly generous with us. Check them out if you are interested in managed hosting.

Let us know if you find any problems or bugs.

Thanks for patience and continued patronage.

Update 3/24/2013: All content should have been moved successfully; but let us know of problems.

Hi Everyone. Jeffry Houser talking hear--the producer of The Flex Show.

I want all of you to know that I launched a Flex related Kickstarter.

The intent is to flesh out the API of the Flextras Spark AutoComplete component, and then donate the finished code to Apache Flex.

We're experimenting with this as an alternate way to fund some of our open source development time. If you think it's a cool idea, then check it out. Some of the reward tiers relate will get you some Flex Show related content, such as our premium screencasts with over 2 hours of content which wasn't published to the blog and some bonus T-shirts from The Flex Show or Flextras.

If you like Flex, and want to show me some love, check it out and become a backer.

on my personal blog, and occasionally on Flextras, I'll write up blog posts in response to user questions. This question just came in to our Flex Show account and I thought I'd do the same here:

Hi Jeffry and John, Why don't you guys start a new podcast about Haxe. Haxe seems to be the natural progression for any Flash/Flex developer that is looking for a future in a world without flash. And who knows - maybe there's gonna be a flex like comonent framework soon. .. You did such a great job with the flex show. It would be so cool if you could continue your great work. Haxe already has a great community and it will certainly grow. It just would be the perfect fit as there are so many similarities to the flex community and since Haxe supports multiple platforms there would be plenty of topics. Cheers Robin

First, I'm glad you think we did a great job with The Flex Show. It was a fun ride. But, I think there are plenty of reasons why I do not create a new podcast about Haxe. ( Caveat: I can't personally speak for John ). Here is a list of a few reasons why I do not create a Haxe podcast:

• The number of technologies that are "natural progressions" for Flash/flex developers are numerous. In the circles I run in; Sencha is the progression of choice.
• I am aware of Haxe, but don't know anything about it in detail. You could say I'm indifferent to it.
• A lot of folks--myself included--are dedicated to making Flex thrive in open source over at the Apache Foundation. Maybe no progression is needed needed just yet?
• It takes a lot of work to keep a podcast going as consistently as we did with The Flex Show. Our budget was 8 hours per episode. Do you want to fund that?
• Perhaps most importantly; I want a break from podcasting. It takes a lot of time and we were self-funded for the bulk of our run.
• If I were to have to move from Flex, I plan to focus my efforts on Native Mobile development because that is something that interests me.

If you want a podcast on Haxe; I suggest you create a podcast on Haxe. One of the most important things to keep you going---especially during the down times--is that you actually care.

If someone wanted to start a podcast on Haxe [or anything] and wanted to hire me as a consultant for training / mentoring in order to help them get started; I'd be more than happy to discuss.

This is the Flex Show's final episode in the current format, so John and I sat down and went through the news and other relevant conversation.
