Tomorrow morning bright and early I’m off to Orlando, Florida for the 2009 Object Oriented Programming and System Languages Association (OOPSLA) annual meetings. I’ll be making an ActionScript 3.0 presentation in a workshop on Sunday. Our workshop is named “Good Examples for Exposing Bad Practice” and meets in Pastoral 3 from 8:30-5:00 (Oct 25) Mine is based on the ‘Wrong Way Warrior”; so it should be familiar. On Monday, I’ll be at the Educators Symposium all day, and I would really like to meet other ActionScripters who might be at the conference
Here are some other speakers you might want to hear/meet:
1. Miško Hevery
Automatic Dependency Injection In The Land Of Dynamic Languages
2. Barbara Liskov (Liskov Principle)
Keynote Speaker
3. Ralph Johnson (GoF)
Regrowing a Language: Refactoring Tools Allow Programming Languages to Evolve
Anyway, just in case any of you will be there, drop by one of the sessions. Everyone’s been very accepting of ActionScript 3.0, and it’d be fun to chat with some fellow ActionScripters!

how did I not know about this!?
It seems nothing ever comes through Orlando - and when something does, it seems to pass right under my nose!
Hi T,
I know how you feel. It’s the same in Bloomfield—nothing ever seems to come through. Only one difference—in Bloomfield NOTHING ever comes through!
Let’s get ready for next year. OOPLSA is changing the conference name to Systems Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity (aka SPLASH). It’s going to be in Reno, NV next time; so you’ve got lots of time to prepare!
Since Reno is just a jump over a mountain or two from Phoenix, where Chandima lives,so maybe both of us can make it, and we’ll start a core of ActionScript 3.0 programming language design pattern developers.
Take care,
Bill
