on AIR tour comes to Europe
20 02 2008
There were lots of rumors about the on AIR tour coming to Europe but it was Andrew Shorten who finally confirmed the news during the keynote at Flash on the Beach last November.
No more waiting, the new site is now up and running and all information about the different venues available — onair.adobe.com.
12 cities in two legs of 2 weeks. No huge bus this time, eco-friendly as the team is, they’ll be experiencing the joy of public transport on the old continent and taking the train to the various destinations.
Every city on the tour will have a free full day event, giving you the opportunity to learn just about everything about Adobe AIR and walk away building cross-platform desktop applications based on HTML, JavaScript, Flash/Flex.
If you followed the on AIR bus tour in the US you will have seen that this isn’t your typical marketing event. Its an opportunity to hang out with like minded developers, grab free beer and snacks, there’s even some Xbox and Wii consoles at the ready for when you need a break from the technical presentations.
I’m very excited to be joining the team for a couple of their events, doing a session on SQLite support in AIR.
April 4th, Amsterdam - Beurs van Berlage
April 7th - Brussels - The Claridge
Feel free to spread the word, link to the site, follow the tour on Twitter, put up the logo or check out the Facebook page and forward it to your friends.
For those of you wondering, I will still make it to 360Flex Milan. John and Tom were kind enough to reschedule my talk to the last day so looking forward to catching up with the European Flex community there!
Damn, an Adobe event, walking distance from my house, and I’m in Milan
Oh well… See you Sunday in Amsterdam! Nico was kind enough to offer a ride with you guys (which would have been cool), but he is leaving too damn early in the morning for me… I’ll be coming up for the party Sunday night
Looking forward to this.
Cya in Brussels.
