Be sure to attend the 7th edition of the Multimediacollege Afterhours Mega Session on May 19th, I’m sure it’ll be great fun as the previous years!
This year I’ll be presenting alongside good friends Serge, Steven, Eddy, Wim (and many others) talking about the history of ActionScript (from Flash 4 to Flash 8 and beyond). Am also eager to finally meet some of the people from Adobe Belgium.
