Crystal Gaze “QuickDemo” contest
We know that many of you may have been using Flex 4, FlashBuilder 4, ColdFusion Builder and FlashCatalyst since their beta days. So here is a chance for you to participate in our “QuickDemo” contest. All you have to do is plan for a 5-minutes demo that you can showcase during CrystalGaze.
Your demo should involve walking through some code (which you may have written a priori) using the relevant Adobe tools. Your demo need not be about the app itself, but it could be more to showcase a cool feature of the relevant Adobe tool.
If you are interested write your proposal in the comments section. To encourage your active participation in this, Adobe evangelists plan to give away some cool Adobe merchandize for those who demo. The last date for submitting your proposal is April 3.
Hurry up and submit your proposal soon.
