June 22, 2010 – 4:30 am
I was happy to hear Adobe is organizing a huge two day conference in Bangalore, India on August 25th and 26th. The Adobe Flash Platform Summit will no doubt be the place to be if you want to learn about their latest technologies and network with other industry professionals. The first day will cover mostly read more
Making the case for HTML5 support in the Flash Player
April 22, 2010 – 1:24 pm
Earlier this week I got inspired seeing this presentation on HTML5. I’m a strong advocate of moving towards this standard and with browsers increasingly supporting it, makes it very attractive to start to learn and implement where possible. Contrary to what I’m seeing various tech blogs claim, HTML5 is in my opinion not a replacement read more
Flash Player 10.1 performance on mobile
February 23, 2010 – 8:45 am
Recently James Ward, Technical Evangelist at Adobe, did a video showing performance of Flex running on the Google Nexus One in Flash Player 10.1. Consider that myth about Flash Player performance not being up to scratch for use on a certain mobile device well and truly busted!
Trying out the iPad browsing experience
January 28, 2010 – 1:56 pm
I did a little experiment this morning, disabling plug-ins in my browser aka “the iPad experience”. See where things start to break down? The Apple iPad web browsing experience, not quite what you expect. Yes, there are native apps for a number of these sites (social gaming on Facebook anyone?) I’m specifically talking about the read more
Apple’s idea of the best web browsing experience
January 28, 2010 – 1:53 am
Just hours after the product got announced, a lot has already been said and written about the Apple iPad and I don’t particularly feel I have a lot to add except for that “one more thing”. I’ve been working almost exclusively on Mac for about five years now and its a decision I’ve never regretted. read more
The black box that is the Flash Player
January 21, 2010 – 11:09 am
This morning I read an interesting blog post by John Dowdell highlighting some things that bothered me in the last week or so (and talked about on twitter). We’ve been seeing some sensationalist headlines on tech blogs like “Open Source JavaScript to Replace Flash?” without seemingly any understanding of the (all be it incredibly cool) read more
The future of the Flash Player
January 13, 2010 – 4:29 pm
I think many will agree that 2010 is going to be the year of mobile and devices. With Android becoming a serious contender and Apple reportedly coming out with some innovative new hardware its no surprise to me that there’s a lot of buzz around the Flash Player and whether or not Adobe will be read more
Flash community – moments of 2009
December 29, 2009 – 3:41 pm
With just a few days left in 2009, I wanted to post some moments this year that stuck with me: Discussion about Fx prefix versus namespaces in Flex 4 Flex Builder to get renamed to Flash Builder Fantastic first edition of Flash at the Lake in Zurich, Switzerland Carlos Ulloa speaks at TEDGlobal Summer of read more
Using Flash to compile to iPhone applications
October 6, 2009 – 5:25 am
Definitely one of the biggest announcements at todays Adobe MAX keynote was the ability to compile Flash applications to native iPhone ARM binaries. Just to be clear, this doesn’t mean Flash Player runs on the iPhone or SWF files get interpreted at runtime. I’m happy to see Adobe push things forward for mobile and not read more
Looking back at Flash on the Beach
September 28, 2009 – 2:13 pm
I’ve been lucky enough to attend all four editions of Flash on the Beach since it started in 2006, three of them as a speaker and hope to get invited to do many more. Looking back I can honestly say this year was the best one yet — it had something for everyone and think read more
