I recently found out about a very useful AIR application called “Moderator” created by Danny Dura, Platform Evangelist at Adobe.

Today the Adobe User Group Belgium organized a FlexCamp in Antwerp with some fantastic speakers lined up including no less than three Adobe employees (Matt Chotin, James Ward and Chet Haase) which must be a new record for us.

I did my “AIR Beyond the Basics” talk at Flash on the Beach on Tuesday and was pretty happy with the turnout — especially since I was up against a jam session with Keith Peters, Joa Ebert, Ralph Hauwert, Carlos Ulloa, Mario Klingemann and Andre Michelle ;) The internet connection unfortunately failed on me and read more
Another year, another great Flash on the Beach keynote. This year Richard Galvan, Serge Jespers and Mark Doherty took the stage to talk about Flash CS4, AIR and Flash Lite. At some point during the keynote Richard mistakenly says that Flash Player 10 beta has reached 60% adoption, I’ve been told by Adobe that there read more
I’m very excited to be part of the first edition of “The ActionScript Conference” at the National Library in Singapore on October 19th! With fellow speakers like Lee Brimelow, Michael Plank, Stefan Wessels and others it promises to be a great day. The conference is organized by the Singapore Flex Usergroup that includes such talented read more
