PDC 2010 sessions now online

November 3rd, 2010

Microsoft PDC video player

One of the great things about modern web technology conferences is that most of them put all of their session content online for free. Microsoft took it a step further for this year’s Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC) and streamed all of the sessions live in HD using IIS Smooth Streaming and the Silverlight Media Framework (the PDC player application was developed by Vertigo who also works with us to develop the SMF).

All of the great PDC 2010 sessions are now available for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s a list of my favorite sessions:

Flex and AIR User Group Pre-release Tour

January 7th, 2008

Want to learn more about Flex 3 and AIR – for free? Check it out:

Flex and AIR User Group Pre-release Tour

Flex 3 and AIR are getting close to launch and in preparation, the Adobe Platform Evangelist team is traveling to select cities to show off the great new features and some brand new demos.

Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.

Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, extending rich applications to the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write desktop applications using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to see and hear about this highly anticipated release of Flex 3 and AIR during this special pre-release tour. Plus, in addition to giving away some one of a kind Flex/AIR branded schwag, we will also be raffling off a copy of Flex Builder 3 Professional (pending availability) and a full commercial copy of CS3 Web Premium at this event!

Check out the comprehensive listing of dates at flex.org/tour to see if the tour is coming to your city!

RIA Developer Camp at Adobe SF tonight

November 5th, 2007

I was just reminded that we are holding a RIA Developer Camp at Adobe’s San Francisco office from 4pm to 8:30pm tonight.  It looks like registration is still open so if you’re in San Francisco be sure to stop by.

Learn from other developer community leaders on how they use Adobe® Flex™ 2, Flash® CS3, and AIR™ (Adobe Integrated Runtime) to help them improve their business applications.  Join this seminar and hear speakers from Yahoo!®, PayPal™, ActionScript.com, and Adobe discuss how business owners, web developers, and end users are using these technologies to build their cool applications in a snap.
  • Adobe AIR lets developers use their existing web development skills in HTML, AJAX, Flash, and Flex to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.
  • Design rich Internet applications that help businesses communicate more effectively, inside and outside the enterprise, with Flex 2.
