The Central Team is hosting a developer get together tonight at the Marriott hotel (across from the conference center). There will be pizza, beer, video games (ps2 and xbox), Internet, programming, chatting and general hanging out. Members of the Central team will be there, as well as members of the Flash engineering team, and some of the engineers from AOL.
The session is Wednesday night (tonight) from 7:30 pm to 1am in the Deer Valley room of the Marriott (across from the conference center).
Juts a quick FYI, my session title at MAX has changed to:
Developing with the AOL Presence API in Macromedia Central
And now, Ray Ryan, the AOL engineer who is building the SDK, is also presenting, showing a bunch of demos and codes / examples.
Here are the remaining Session Times:
Btw, we will be giving out copies of the Central Developer Reference Poster at all of the Central sessions, so stop by if you would like one.
I am finally in Salt Lake city for the Max conference. Unfortunately, I have a ton of work to do, so I have been holed up in my room all night.
Danny Dura and Christian Cantrell are also hanging around and we are working on some pretty cool stuff. More info soon.
I’ll be posting pictures on the Vision website that Christian made (hmm… that sure would make a good Central app… ;) ).
I have uploaded some pictures from the Max 2003 conference in Salt Lake City to the vision site.
You can view them here.
We have released the complete docs for the Flash MX 2004 extensibility layer. This allows you to script the authoring environment and create news tools, commands and extensions. I personally think this is the coolest and most useful feature of Flash, and I have already used it to create a command line compiler for the authoring environment.
There are a couple of extensions on DRK 5 which use the extensibility layer, and you can also see a list of third party extensions here.
Christian Cantrell has set up a site dedicated to aggregating all of the posts about the Macromedia MAX conference. There is already a ton of content, and it looks like this will be the place to keep up with everything going on the at the conference.
You can view the site at:
We have released a new Central application for the MAX conference. The app includes resources about the conference, including session information and descriptions, an interactive map of the venue, news and award info. You can also set it up to notify you when your sessions are about to begin.
Here is a screen shot of the application:
You can install the application from here.
We will be giving out the cool Macromedia rune buttons at the MAX conference. We will have buttons for almost all of our product runes.
I know that buttons seem like a pretty small thing to point out in a countdown to the conference. Does it mean that there is not much going on? Nope. Maybe it means that there is a ton of stuff going on that I just can’t post about yet… ;)
We will be giving out some Central posters at the MAX conference. The posters are developer reference guides, and really look nice.
You can see a (small) sneak peak here:
You can download a PDF of the poster here .
We won’t have tubes for them, so if you are interested, make sure to bring one for the poster (or pick one up in Salt Lake City).
The title pretty much says it all. What questions would you like answered in a Central FAQ? Post your suggestions in the comments.
