Flash 8 Training

Flash 8 hasnt been around for very long and im sure there are lots of people out there who have tonnes of questions and also want to get up to speed with the new tool and what it has to offer. I will be in Brighton on the 24th October for a Flash 8 Training day organised by Ariaware.

I will be presenting a great session on my favourite new feature, the BitmapData API. My session will introduce all attendees to the new BitmapData API and then i will cover Webcam Motion Detection and Tracking (which although not useful in a commercial environment, is great fun!)

That’s not all, this a full day seminar with a great line-up of sessions from the people who have been been using the tool for a good while now, namely; Aral Balkan(RIA Master), Richard Leggett(FlashLite Guru), Stephen Downs (Tink) and Rob Bateman(BBC). There will be sessions on the new Video features, Mobile Features, File Upload/Download features and lots of time for questions.

A bargain day out for any Flash Developer/Designer with a laptop and a copy of Flash 8 (Trial or Fully Licensed) that wants to keep on top of things, at only £149. More information can be found here.

Should be alot of fun, hope to see you there!
