I realized this morning that I have yet to write about the various sessions I’ll be doing during Adobe MAX in Los Angeles this year. Normally, I begin advertising these sessions much earlier… ah well. Here they are!
Adobe MAX 2011
From Desktop to Mobile: Application Functionality for Small Screens
Tuesday, 4:00-5:00
Explore the issues of moving an established RIA experience from desktop to mobile. Join Joseph Labrecque from the University of Denver as he discusses transitioning the viewing experience for a campus resource from desktop to mobile. This session will examine how to take advantage of new workflow considerations across Adobe toolsets and determine what existing functionality is suitable for mobile applications, investigate device restrictions that can impact the general user experience, and describe how to make users aware of a new mobile application and what to expect.
Adobe Education Summit
From Desktop to Mobile: Application Functionality for Small Screens
Sunday, 2:15-2:50?
(This is a condensed version of my official MAX session)
FITC Unconference
UX Concerns across Mobile Platforms
Tuesday, 12:00-12:30
All three major mobile OS platforms have certain user experience expectations in place. This session will examine existing UX paradigms for Android, iOS, and QNX, the importance of adhering to user expectations through these constructs, and present some circumstances when deviation may be appropriate.
Also be sure to check out CodeBassRadio and Nerd Radio at the Community Pavilion!
UPDATE: I’m now also TA for Matt Gifford’s BYOD Lab!
Adobe MAX 2011
Mobile Apps from 0 to 90: Powered by ColdFusion
Tuesday, 8:00-9:30
In this 90 minute lab, you’ll use Adobe Flash Builder to develop a mobile application from the ground up, compiling it as an Adobe AIR app. Learn how to create and push views, add a tabbed menu interface, and call and manage remote data from a ColdFusion web server. You’ll also debug and deploy the final application to your mobile Android device.
