Speaker Bio:

James Ward (jamesward.org) is a Technical Evangelist
for Flex at Adobe and Adobe's JCP representative to
JSR 286, 299, and 301. Much like his love for climbing
mountains, he enjoys programming because it provides
endless new discoveries, elegant workarounds, summits
and valleys. His adventures in climbing have taken him
many places. Likewise, technology has brought him many
adventures, including: Pascal and Assembly back in the
early 90's; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid 90's;
then Java and many of it's frameworks beginning in
the late 90's. Today he primarily uses Flex to build
beautiful front ends for Java based back ends. Prior
to Adobe, James built a rich marketing and customer
service portal for Pillar Data Systems.

If you are taking public transit, your best bet is

is to backtrack to Ellis street and cross at the lighted

Logue street intersection. Also, you can connect to
VTA Light Rail from the Caltrain station in downtown
Mountain View.
