conference hub in Fribourg

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

head conference from the 24th till 26th of Octobre

Now its definite: I’m currently involved at Liip in establishing a <head> web conference hub in Fribourg, Switzerland. For those who don’t know it: Fribourg is situated an approximate 20min drive south of Bern and since it is partly French partly German speaking, we’re hoping to unite folks from eastern and western Switzerland under the same roof exchanging ideas and knowledge in between watching the sessions.

Plus, Liip is giving away 5 tickets to join the hub for free! All information on the hub and how to get a free ticket (if they’re still there) can be found under http://liip.to/head and will continuously be updated as organization proceeds. So stay tuned and drop me a line, if you got any questions.

Hope to see you around!

FlashForum Conference afterglow

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Download the presentation slides

Last week just blew my mind: Four intense days at the FlashForum Conference in Cologne with tons of input from workshops, lectures and discussions just maxed out my brain capacities.
It all came in a bundle with some partying, of course, and to top it off, I gave a presentation on multi user application development with Flash. Incredibly exiting days! I put up the slides for the lecture as PDFs and they are waiting for you to download them.

Thanks again to Marc Thiele and Sascha Wolter, the two brains behind the FlashForum, for organizing this terrific event. Already looking forward to seeing you all again next year!

Lecture in Zurich

Friday, May 9th, 2008

As it seems, my lecture on Flash server solutions can be heard again at the Internet-Briefing Developers Conference in Zurich. On the 28th and 29th of May, a whole bunch of lectures on project management and development methods (28th) and developing Rich Internet Applications (29th) will be held in World Trade Center Zurich.

Right now, the public programm hasn’t really been updated but for anyone wondering: my lecture will be held right after lunch on day two (29th). Members of the Swiss Flash User Group (SFUG) will get a discount on registration fees. Just contact me, if you want to know how.

Hope to see you around!

Adobe AIR Camp – a balance

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Last week’s Adobe AIR Camp in Zurich was interesting, challenging, fun and exhausting at the same time: After a short introduction of Serge Jespers and Mike Downey about the new features that AIR has to offer and how to create applications with the various tools, everyone was up to develop the coolest AIR App within 24 hours.
I, for my part, tried to create a multi player game, that would connect to a Milgra based Java server. Turns out, it wasn’t the best idea to start developing my first Java application during a contest… So, sadly, when judgement minute came after 24 hours of coding, consuming engery drinks and no sleep at all I didn’t have much to show :(

At least, after a few days on the couch trying to recover from the camp, I was able to write a few lines on the Liip blog expressing a critical view on AIR’s potential.

And since I assume, winning is overrated anyway, I’ll just finish up that game in the next months and simply pretend I won that ultra smooth, super light and shiny MacBook Air … oh, crud, that’s not the same!
