FITC Amsterdam 2011If you’re on the fence for going to FITC Amsterdam you’re running out of time to lock in the early bird pricing. It ends on Friday, so register now!

I’m going to be presenting on Using Node.js and Flash together to create real-time, scalable applications using a combination of Flash and JavaScript. Node.js has been getting a lot of attention and so it should be a fun session. One of the coolest things this year about FITC is that there will be a ton of diversity in the talks. We’ve got everything from multi-screen, Flash, HTML5, 3D, gaming, so there really is something for everyone.

It’s going to be a monumental year for Flash developers with a lot of open questions and some great new technology to play with. FITC Amsterdam will give you some insight into how those technologies can be used and how to navigate the web application landscape.

FITC San Francisco – Come one, Come All

Next week is FITC San Francisco. FITC is one of my favorite Flash conferences of all time and having it in San Francisco means that a bunch of Adobeans are going to be out in force. It also means you get the big guns. Like Kevin Lynch giving the keynote.

It is an incredibly interesting period for Adobe and Flash developers. The word I keep hearing is that we’re in a period of “hyperchange” with the drive for multi-screen and an increasingly app-centric world. But all of this is good for Flash developers. While HTML5 is fantastic for a lot of reasons, it’s also not fully baked yet. It will be, I’m not worried about that, but the hype surrounding it hasn’t caught up with the reality of how hard it is to make the jump to mobile web content. Or create complex applications/content.

So this is a pretty pivotal FITC. And I think a lot of us at Adobe are looking forward to talking with you guys and providing some context to the stories you hear. Adobe is going to be a busy place over the next year and there’s a lot that should excite Flash developers. FITC is a chance to get a taste of that.

So go register!
