(A very belated) Flash on the Beach 2008 days 2 & 3 roundup.
Ok, so it’s a bit belated. I was trying to do the whole geeky blogging thing after each day of Flash on the Beach, but guess what got in the way? Work. Work and parties. Ok, maybe parties and then work, but I’m blaming both equally.
Unfortunately I also forgot to take my notes off the company laptop before I handed it back in, and James C forgot to give me back my scribbled pad of paper after the final session, so we’re doing this summary from memory! I’m so disorganised…
There were lots of interesting sessions over those last two days, on Tueday we had ‘The business side of AIR: how to sell your clients on AIR apps’ by Mike Downey, ‘Things Every ActionScript Developer should know’ by Grant Skinner. Lee Brimelows ‘Platform Jiu-Jitsu’ was fun – a combined introduction to UFC and Flash CS4. The final inspire session in the evening was, well, inspiring – with Robert Hodgin’s ‘The Best 8 to 12 Hours of my Life.’ in which he talks about drugs having a lot to do with his inspiration. Which seemed to be a common theme amongst the arty types.
Here’s a couple of resources I’ve found from that day…

Grab some Flex skins.
Scalenine has always been a cool place to see some awesome Flex artwork – for ages now they’ve had lovely skins like Obsidian or WMP11, but they’ve recently ran a ‘skin to win’ competition and have released the winning entries on their site: http://www.scalenine.com/gallery/.
The winning entries, and the article about them, can be found at http://scalenine.com/blog/2008/10/16/and-the-winners-are/… Read More…
Moving Offices!
An event more entertaining than BBC’s “Strictly come dancing”, more thrilling than debugging year-old code, MMT Digital is moving to brand spanking new offices.
An official Press Release will be making its way online next week, with more pictures, but for now (and until I update again) check out what the site looked like only 4 months ago…
FOWA ’08 (Future of Web Apps conference) – Videos
http://events.carsonified.com/fowa/2008/london/content
I didn’t go to this one, so it’s really thanks to Andrew Shorten that I found the link, but it looks like FOWA have put videos of the vast majority of all of their sessions online for viewing. Pretty sweet, huh? I wish more things would do that – it’s a pain having to hunt them down afterwards!
Buy my book!
