Agenda
It’s the first half of 2011 and Adobe’s Open Screen Project initiative has started to really gather some momentum. From a vision of grandeur to the assimilation of a number of different devices and form factors, the Open Screen Project is well on it’s way to becoming a fully realized reality. From Windows, Mac, Linux, to Android, QNX, iOS, and WebOS Adobe has significantly increased the audience consuming ActionScript-based applications on devices from Desktop, web, tablet, mobile, and TV. Come hear how this initiative looks from the eyes of your peers, fellow ActionScript and Flex developers. Gain some insight on how to ride this multi-screen wave of the future.

I’m doing a last-minute session for the RMAUG Unconference today at 360|Flex. 4:10pm!

Get Down n’ Dirty with Mobile Flex 4.5 Projects
This session will explore the mobile Flex framework from the perspective of a project currently in development for the University of Denver targeting Google Android, Apple iOS, and the Blackberry Tablet OS. Joseph will discuss workflow differences when moving from desktop to mobile, and perform a detailed overview of the project in the current state of development. We’ll also discuss differences and problems that can occur when building and deploying for a variety of mobile platforms; particularly Android and Tablet OS.

These are not being streamed or recorded but I will attempt to record this and it will be posted below…

RMAUG miniMAX presentation recording

Back in November of last year, I was asked to speak at the Rocky Mountain Adobe User Group (RMAUG) miniMAX event in Denver, CO on “AIR for Higher Education”. This was a shortened version of the talk I presented at Adobe MAX the month before in Los Angeles, CA.

The act of gathering the recording skipped my mind until I was asked to be on the upcoming RMAUG-organized “Open Screen Project: Views From the Trenches” panel at the upcoming 360|Flex conference. With this remembrance in place, I was able to get a recording of my talk… presented below.

And really, if there is any chance at all that you can come to 360|Flex in April… do it!


…and definitely check out the RMAUG Unconference and Birds of A Feather panel!

Speaking on Mobile Workflow at D2W!

D2WC Speaker

Thrilled to announce that I will be speaking in the mobile track for the upcoming Designer/Developer/Mobile Workflow Conference (D2WC)!

One of my goals for this year was to attend and present at a few conferences that I’d never been to before; as I think it’s important to move beyond ordinary paths every so often. Well, so far I am attending 360|Flex and speaking at D2WC and Ignite Denver – so this goes a long way to fulfill that goal. I’ll hopefully be able to make my regular appearances at the Adobe Summer Institute and Adobe MAX (including the FITC Unconference) as well. This would provide me with a new conference opportunity every 3-4 months. Not bad!

I really like the premise of this conference. I began my professional career as a designer and shifted to a developer role early on so that I would be able to easily move across the complete workflow. Most of the work I do now is still on the developer side of things- but design remains a big part of my day-to-day work, and my personal workflow between the two areas is always changing. It is an exciting area to focus on for a conference!

My session information is below:

Adapting Expectations to Fit a Mobile Workflow
Friday, July 15th 2011 10:55AM – 11:55PM
Mobile devices exploded onto the scene in 2010 with a number of new platforms and form factors emerging to the forefront, iOS4, Android 2.2, mobile Flash Player, AIR for Android, QNX, iPad and other tablets… not to mention the digital living room. A literal invasion of unfamiliar platforms and devices with their own, unique sets of peculiarities and limitations. Such a radical shift in technology demands a concurrent shift in how we design and develop for these innovations. Where do we scale back? What additional functionality should we keep in mind during the planning phase? What restrictions do we need to work into the design and development phases of project workflow? We’ll discuss these problems in depth and attempt to find some practical adjustments to the current workflow to make the mobile process a bit more straightforward.

Of course, that is just my contribution. There are a lot of great speakers lined up and the following sessions are definitely on my must-see list:

  • Chad Udell – Is Mobile For Me? What Skills Do I Need?
  • David Orthinou – Developers – The Most Critical Designers On Your Project
  • Paul Trani – Hybrid – Complete Flash Workflow – From Design to Multiple Devices
  • Michelle Yaiser – We need to talk: Things you can do to prevent breaking up with your developer
  • Ben Stucki – The Dirty Truth About Project Management — how to get PM’s to do what you need to do?
  • Doug Winnie – TBA (also the keynote!)
  • Jim Babbage – wireframing/prototyping for mobile using Fireworks
  • Tom Green – Rocking the house with After Effects and Flash
  • Antonio Holguin – The smartest designer/developer workflow to build Flex/AIR Projects
  • Chris Griffith – UI Design Patterns for RIAs and Mobile
  • Elad Elrom – Make your Flex application show some skin

Don’t want to leave anyone out, so be sure to check out the full schedule.

Here are the conference details. I strongly urge you to join us!
