Doug McCune
Doug is a data junkie. He's not content to simply listen to the news report about local crime, he needs to get the data and map it himself (how else are you going to learn where to find all the narcotics activity in San Francisco?). Doug's current obsessions include mapping absurd things like the prostitution activity of his city, the destruction caused by hurricanes, and the most likely places cops pull you over for DUIs. Luckily, he gets to play with all these things during his day job and pretend like it's work.
Doug has been doing Flex development for the past three years with the group of talented developers at Universal Mind. During that time he helped launch SpatialKey, which is the best damn geospatial mapping application you've ever seen.
He's also the co-author of Flex 3.0 for Dummies, which was an ordeal to write but great to have completed. Doug has spoken at conferences such as 360|Flex, CFUnited, FOTB (in 2008), and RIAdventure.
