The Flex Developer Derby is your chance to write cool Flex code and win sweet prizes (six chances to win a Xbox 360 and a 42″ plasma TV to use it with). The deadline for the contest has been extended to May 31st – more time for you to create one of the winning entries!
Great news! Hopefully Beta 3 will allow me to get back into the game a bit. The install limitations in Beta 2 with the Mystic Updater put me off a bit. Ben, any idea of the types of entries that have already been submitted by chance? Just curious…
I know one person that stopped investigating Flex after B2 as it caused a couple of probs and is waiting for B3. (I honestly can’t remember his exact issues).
Shame that this competition was only open to North America. Will you be doing a worldwide competition at some point?

But official Adobe worldwide contest would be better of course.
I am extremely happy that they exteneded the date. I am going to be submiting my real estate dashboard. And now I have more time to work on the things I think need work.
I was also kind of peeved that they are limiting it it north america only. It really limits the competition.
Note that the exclusion on non-North Americans is not driven by Adobe. It has to do with federal regulations regarding international competitions and prizes. It’s really out of their hands.
