Experiences Across Multiple Screens at Adobe MAX

Andrew Spaulding — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:43:42 +0000

This year at Adobe MAX I’m presenting on “Experiences Across Multiple Screens”. But just what is that exactly?

Experiences Across Multiple Screens
Wednesday October 7 at 09:30AM
Learn how the Adobe Flash Platform enables multiscreen delivery of applications, from the biggest screen to the smallest device. In this session, you’ll find out how to leverage the consistency of the Flash runtime and to develop reusable code and scalable interfaces that are device aware. Come and see many Flash technology enabled devices in action — the Flash runtime on smartphones, Internet-enabled media tablets, MIDs, Chumby, game consoles, and more.

Don’t forget the Adobe MAX hashtag #adobemax

And my session hashtag of #adobemax149

There’s going to be a lot of excitement this year at MAX, and if you can’t make it you don’t have to worry, all sessions will be recorded and made available online, but better yet, the keynotes will be streamed LIVE. Register now at http://max.adobe.com/online/

I’m really excited that I have the opportunity to present again at Adobe MAX, this time in Los Angeles!

Since Adobe Flash Catalyst was officially announced at Adobe MAX 2008 I’ve kept a list of my favorite blog posts, videos, screencasts and links to downloads and tutorials. Hopefully these resources will help in getting you started.

For the developers, you’ll find some interesting reads on FXG and why we have gone down this path, as well as a great post on an approach towards design patterns when developing a single application for multiple screens.

If you have other links to tutorials, screencasts, skins or other Flash Catalyst related downloads/links I’d love to hear about it!
