Well, FlashForward 2003 NYC is over, and as usual it was a great conference. I had a blast hanging out with and getting to know everyone. It was particularly cool to get to hang out with Josh and Daniel Dura, and Greg Burch, all of whom I chat with daily (and who were killing me at Mario Kart).
My session on Friday went well. I talked about architecting applications in Flash. I de-constructed my Search Application (which will be on the soon to be released DRK 4). I had a QA session after that, and ended up showing off a bunch of stuff on DRK 4.
Well, I have finally been able to catch my breath from the keynote (and from the lack of sleep over the past couple of days). Normally, I would give a blow by blow account of the Keynote, but after checking MXNA, I noticed that there are quite a few people blogging the keynote live, including:
The best way to keep up with everything is to check out the Flash section of MXNA. Right now, almost every item on there right now is related to info from FlashForward.
I have posted some pictures from FlashForward. They are mostly from the speaker reception, and the keynote.
FlashForward is in full swing, and even though I have had to spend time working on some projects, things have been a blast as usual. Last night I hung out at a reception for speakers and film festival judges, and got to chat with a bunch of people (Branden Hall, Sam Wan, Grant Skinner, Claus Wahlers, Greg Burch, Josh Dura, Danny Dura, etc…).
I haven’t had a chance to spend much time in any sessions today (although I did peak into Robert Reinhardt’s session on Flash Communication server). However, I have heard some interesting info about some of the vendors (cross platform third party projectors?). Ill post more info when I confirm things.
I just arrived in NYC for FlashForward 2003. I am really looking forwarding to hanging around with everyone, and have already run into Greg Burch and Branden Hall.
I will be doing a small section during the keynote and then have an entire session where I am going to de-construct the Google Search Application.
As in the past, I am going to try and blog the conference, so check back here for update (I will post all of the entries in the Conferences category).
Sorry for the slow down in posting activity over the past couple of weeks. I have been swamped wrapping up some projects (can you say DRK4?), getting ready for Flash Forward, learning some new stuff and selling my house (tons of fun!).
Anyways, things should get back to normal soon. I will also be at FlashForward next week, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone.
FYI, this Friday is a holiday in the US, so Macromedia offices will be closed. It might take a little longer than normal for me to respond to any emails.
Raymond Camden was the first to notice that the Macromedia MAX conference website has been updated with the list of sessions and their descriptions.

We have just published some new Flash articles and resources at the DevNet Center.

Robert Hall has put together a PHP script that will allow you to ping the Macromedia XML News Aggregator (MXNA) when your site / weblog has new content. By doing this, you content will get added to the aggregator immediately.
If you are using PHP and not using MovableType (which has support for pings built in), this could be very useful.
You can find more info on pinging MXNA here.
