An article by Kuba    No Comments

One week ago (I know it’s a little late but I just run into this news) Greg Wilson announced on his blog new Flex competition. The goal is to make the coolest dashboard using the real-time data feed from the Tour de Flex server. The contest ends on Friday June 26th at noon ET (so you have more the one week to make your dashboard). The rules are really simple: project must be build using Flex 3.x (it could be non flex swf also), it can be web app or desktop app (AIR), judging will be based on creativity and the cool factor. The winner will receive copy of ILOG Elixir and a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium.

For those of you who doesn’t know what Tour De Flex is:

Tour de Flex is a desktop application for exploring Flex capabilities and resources, including the core Flex components, Adobe AIR, data integration, and a variety of third-party components, effects, skins, and more.

Tour de Flex has three primary goals:

• Provide non-Flex developers with an overview of what is possible in Flex in a “look and see” environment
• Provide Flex developers with an illustrated reference tool
• Provide commercial and non-commercial Flex developers with a place to showcase their work
