Sync It Up @ FITC: Presentation and demo code

Congratulations and thanks are in order to everyone who managed to wake up early this morning for my presentation at this year’s FITC Toronto conference. Who knew that SQL and data synchronization could be so thrilling? As promised to those who made it, and for the benefit of those who couldn’t, I am posting the deck and demo code from my presentation below.

The deck is obviously not as valuable without a recording of my voice and on-stage antics, but it’s better than nothing I suppose. I’m using SlideShare, but you can also download a PDF version if you prefer.

As part of my presentation, I quickly demoed a sample AIR application that I built while on the airplane and waiting in the airport on my way to Toronto. The app, called Librarian, is a simple app that makes use of AIR’s built-in SQL database support to store and retrieve information for your personal library. It also features search capabilities similar to the “Spotlight” search functionality on Mac OS X.

You can download the Librarian AIR installer here. Once the app has been installed, simply right-click on it and select view source to view all of the source code. I attempted to comment the code as liberally as I felt necessary.

Feel free to post or e-mail questions.

    Doh. Sorry about that. Fixed the link.

Leave your 2¢ here. Make it count.
