5 UK Flash experts discuss the Flash Platform and Flash community

Posted by on Apr 1, 2009 in Flash, Industry | Comments Off

net188roundtable250.jpgBack in February, Stefan Richter, Mike Jones, Dave Williamson, James Whittaker, Bola Roibi and Andrew Shorten met up in London to discuss the power of the Flash community and the new challenges the Flash Platform faces (as featured in .net Magazine May 2009 issue 188). The highlights of this round table discussion are also featured in this month’s Web Design TV podcast (subscribe in iTunes).

The discussion is quite lengthy but it’s definitely interesting to watch. Apologies for the squeaky floor sounds though. Chester Chipperfield was nice enough to lend us his apartment for the round table discussion. But when you start walking around on authentic floor boards, they tend to squeak a little bit. ;-)

If you’re not in Milan for MAX Europe, you actually missed the coolest Cocomo demo ever ;-) Andrew and I created the “Paparazzi Central” Cocomo application where paparazzi can share tips with colleagues and upload photos to share with publishers all over the world. During our demo, paparazzi in Milan were already uploading images to the application… and I thought it was a good idea to share them with you here ;-)
