Ok, for those who don’t know this year, tnx to my boss i’m going to attend Flash On the Beach, that is, for those who don’t know the most inspired conference world wide for flash lovers (less formal and more exciting sessions).
There is also a little small big thing to add… i was picked as elevator pitchers … a 3 minutes shots preso in wich i will show something (hope cool) in front of a stage of 1000 flash developer …. sounds scarring? yes it is!
( i will come back later with some post on the work in progress of the presentation )
But now let me show off my TODO LIST for FOTB!
People I MUST meet!
Ok you know, community isn’t so big, but conference are great moment to meet people live, that is far away from exchanging mails or skype messages. Like every year, fotb is full of AS3 heros, and flash ecosystem great guys. This is my personal list (still upgrading … damn i think it’s quite impossible to have the same concentration of flash hero in the same place) :
Thibault Imbert
he’s simply alivepdf creator, bytearray proud pioneer, and recently was moved into flash player team….. nothing to add. Must give him, the printed version of the poster i did. I also expected some proof of his training to be a real geeky flash developer ( he should talk with a light saber instead of an usual laser pointer), i hope Mike Chambers keep controlling him on this.
Well just let me say minimalcomps.com. A project i used tons of time, a rising solid kit for superfast prototyping … i going few times throu customizing that components, and i’m sure a talk with the creator will open my mind to cool fresh ideas.
Another god in flash world, we remember him for the make some noise project, but till that time he’s keep moving on with such great ideas .. and hey … looks like he have a great music taste too !
Ok, i’m following him since his previous blog posts over CI and other Software Engineer topic that at the end it’s exactly what i’m focus one. I’m sure there will be lot to learn from him!!
Topics!
Even if the official session topics aren’t published yet, i’m sure there will be great topics to discuss over. This year my hot topics are:
CS5 Integration
from the early studies looks like the cs5 sdk let us do such great things with as3 and the entire suit programms, so will be cool to know how deep we can get into this new toy
air 2.0 and 10.1
Everytime there is new release of flash player and air you can bet there are new feature that at the first time you don’t notice … Live listening the project team talking over this topic will open up our mind and give us a unpayable advance!
Automated Processes
This is an advance topic, and i have lot to learn in this field. It’s all about integrating enterprise tools to turn flash into a solid developer solution even for high level business projects.
Beach Experience!
No, i’m not planning some beach time, there will not be time for that. Beach experience is just about feelings.. sharing … learn .. growing… i know that it sounds strange if you never come to FOTB, but i’m sure that all attenders, at least one time, they perfectly know what i mean
see you at FOTB : Brighton 26-29 September!
