I’ve been invited to present at next month’s Flash Forward Conference to speak on Flash Lite and the traffic viewer application I made at the beginning of the year. I’ve decided to call my session “Flash Lite: making it fit.” So much of Flash Lite is re-learning and re-thinking traditional design, development, and interaction, and this session is going to be about my first set of choices as I did my first major Flash Lite file, and why I now have a second set.
I’ve gone back and re-written most of my Flash Lite apps at some point or another. I made development choices originally that really reflected my desktop Flash development. As I’ve learned more about Flash Lite and seen the work other people are doing, I have had to rethink a lot of how I approach mobile Flash. I plan to go through my bigger misconceptions, mistakes, and frustrations, since I’m probably not the only one that has run into them.
I also plan to talk about optimization for code, and my own practices for organizing code in Flash 4 syntax.
While this will mostly be a technical presentation, I’m going to try and fit in as much design and interaction issues as I can in the hour. Anyone that has specific questions though about these issues should also come to the Q&A session that immediately follows the presentation.
My session will be in the Gramercy Park room from 1:30-2:30PM on the last day of the conference (7/8). I hope to meet many of you there!
Looking forward to your talk! I was hoping to find out more details on what you’d be presenting after I saw your name listed as a speaker.
