I apologize to my Flexcelsius readers for the lack of posts recently. I have been in high delivery mode and I’m finally back down with some time to create some fun and useful add-ons.
My previous post regarding add-ons was based on a very simple column chart that I indicated we would be extending on in subsequent posts. As a long time Flex dashboard developer, I really missed a few things in watching people create Xcelsius dashboards that I considered to be foundational in dashboard charting. To start, namely:
Dynamic series colors: i.e. switching between series colors on-the-fly at runtime
Dynamic series types: i.e. switching between series types on-the-fly at runtime
We would like to officially announce that Michael Patton, of BMW Manufacturing, is the winner of the free seat to the Xcelsius Advanced Developer Workshop in Dallas, TX, on March 24-25. We apologize for the delay in announcing the winner, but we wanted to confirm that he would be able to attend.
For those of you who attended the webinar and received the discount code, we have decided to extend it out until 12AM PST, due to the delay on our behalf. For those of you who registered, but was not able to attend, you should have received an email with the discount code, if not, please send an email to soo@everythingxcelsius.com and I will send you the code directly.
There is less than 3 weeks left for the workshop on March 24-25 in Dallas, TX, and the seats are filling up fast. We encourage anyone interested in attending, to register today. If you are having trouble with reserving a room at the hotel or have any other questions please feel free to send me an email directly.
