e27 Event – Developer Series 3: Startups and Platforms
There are tons of cool startups in SG working on really interesting ideas and technologies. Most of these platforms are built on groundbreaking technologies such as Google Maps, Silverlight and Adobe Flex. These technologies provide startups and developers with the much needed tools to create their next big cool app. Usually, it’s the application that speaks for the platforms they are built on.
Take for example Orsiso and 2359 Media. Orsiso’s social networking application created using the Flex platform is an ingenious product, that’s really helpful in managing your various social networks. Flex provides an open source framework to build their Rich Internet Application(RIA) with highly interactive and expressive UI. If you want to know how to develop flex-based applications, and take your product to the next level, you know where to go.
Similarly, 2359 Media’s turnkey mobile publishing platform, which run’s on the iPhone platform, is going to change the way publishers get their content on mobile platforms. With lots of mobile platforms in the market today, developers are usually at a loss to pick one. But when it comes to the iPhone, the glamour and glitz associated with it, and the cool apps that are already built on it, takes it a notch higher.
This is why e27 is bringing you Developer Series 3: Startups and Platforms! You will get to meet 4 of the hottest startups and understand the technologies they are built on. The technical directors of the startups will give you an insider perspective of their startups technology as well as the platforms they are built on.

| 7.00pm – 7.30pm: | Multiple SQL statements in Flex by Jerome Poudevigne, Orsiso
Adobe AIR includes pretty good support for the popular SQLite engine. However, there is very little documentation on using it by making asynchronous calls. But for applications like OrSiSo who retrieve comparatively large datasets from the server while displaying long lists of items, it is crucial to be able to use the multithreading model offered by AIR. I will explain how Flex programs can run multiple SQL statements (and also how to execute transactions) in asynchronous mode, and how to correctly display the result of long-running SQLite queries while keeping the UI responsive. |
