A quick note to post the presentation guide and slides for "Don't swim upstream: The Flex Component Lifecycle" presentation I gave together with Beto Brealey-Guzmán, at Schematic's tech summit in Heredia, Costa Rica, last month (September 2008)

On the talk we give a brief overview of the Flex Framework before getting into the interplay between LayoutManager and UIComponent and what that interaction means for the construction and performance of Flex components.
