James Ward, Flex evangelist at Adobe, did an interesting talk on Flash, Flex and Apollo for Rich Internet Applications at Google earlier this month.

Multi-Mania 2007 is in full swing, and am loving it! can’t remember the last time we had that many international speakers over in Belgium. Got a chance to catch up with old friends and finally meet Stephanie Sullivan and others I’ve known for years but never had a chance to meet in person.

I finished my presentation on Object-Oriented Programming in ActionScript 3.0 a little while back and promised to put my slides up on the blog (see below). Now sitting in Dave Schroeder’s excellent talk on sound design — funny guy!

Unfortunately the firewall restrictions didn’t allow me to demo Darron’s FVNC and some NNTP and SMTP AS3 implementations but be sure to check those out if you want some inspiration on what can be achieved with ActionScript 3.0.

Looks like Sven Dens was live blogging sessions he’s attended today so here are his notes on what I’ve talked about in my session: http://www.svendens.be/blog/archives/13

Under 250 hours to go before Multi-Mania 2007 kicks off! The biggest multimedia event in Belgium, completely free of charge, will happen on May 25th at the Buda in Kortrijk.

This year is even better with numerous international speakers attending: Mike Downey, Aral Balkan, Joey Lott, Stephanie Sullivan, Mario Klingemann to name but a few.

There are 3 tracks with 7 sessions each along with a workshop track covering CS3 integration workflow, Flex 2 and mobile devices. In the evening there’s a showcase by Fantasy Interactive followed by the annual awardshow.

You don’t want to miss this! Be sure to register before it fills up and come and say hello if you’re attending.
