Yesterday, I spent some time working on a higher-level SWX library which will make its way into the SWX 0.3 release (yep, we're skipping to a whole new minor version number with the next release). The library/API also makes it easier to build Flash Lite applications with SWX as it provides classes that handle usual Flash Lite gotchas (such as the highly annoying ActionScript stuck error and loadMovie limitations). Of course, you will also still be able to use SWX without the library.

FITC for me was three days of being reunited with friends and attending inspiring and informational sessions. There was a really great line-up this year and I actually preferred the new venue at the Hilton hotel. I felt that having the conference rooms closer together made it easier for me to attend more of the talks and the event just felt more focussed, somehow, thanks to the layout of the venue.
