So, since Andrew and I are now going to be part of the keynote in Milan, it’s obvious that we won’t be able to live blog the keynote this time. Luckily our colleagues Mihai, Tom and Piotr will take care of the live blogging this time. So… Make sure you don’t miss our Cocomo demo… either live in Milan or via the live blog!

As some of you may have noticed, the Flash Catalyst hands-on sessions are completely sold out. They actually sold out very quickly but we do understand that some of you still want to see what you can do with the preview release of Flash Catalyst. That’s why we just added an extra session where Andrew Spaulding and I will show you the workflows we do in the hands-on labs so you can also get an idea of the workflows between Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks and Flash Catalyst.
We have been talking about Thermo for a while now and here’s the first question everyone I showed it to asked: When can I
get my hands on it? Well… Here’s the answer: MAX 2008.
I’m sure most of you know by now that MAX is THE event to get more info on the new technologies that Adobe is working on. We’ve been talking about Thermo for a while now and if you looked at the MAX schedule, I’m sure you noticed that there are quite a few sessions on Thermo at both MAX San Francisco and MAX Milan.
Witness the coolest Cocomo demo ever! Live or via live blogging
Hey… I have to set a pretty high standard for Andrew and myself, right? We will be doing the Cocomo demo in Milan and we think we created something really cool and hopefully funny.
Extra Flash Catalyst session at MAX Milan
As some of you may have noticed, the Flash Catalyst hands-on sessions are completely sold out.

Live blogging MAX 2008 sneak peak session
“Why not go all the way and also live blog the sneak peaks?”, Andrew asked me about an hour ago.
So yeah… Why not? :D
The sneak peaks start at 5:45pm PST, 2:45am CET
MAX San Francisco Keynote day 2 liveblog
Since we had lots of fun doing this yesterday and since you guys gave us some really nice feedback, Andrew and I decided to do this again today. The only difference is that we’ll be a bit better organized today. Ted Patrick hooked us up with front row seats so we can take better pictures.
The theme for the day 2 keynote is “Design, Develop, Deploy” and will be lead by Ben Forta, Director of Platform Evangelism. We have some really nice surprises lined up for you and I can’t wait to hear/read your reaction to them! The keynote starts at 10.30am PST, 7.30pm CET – use the sign-up feature below to get a reminder when it’s about to start…
Live blogging Day 2 keynote
Sometimes, I wake up with crazy ideas. Usually, I take a little more time executing these ideas but this morning was a bit different. One hour before the MAX keynote started, I started setting up the live blogging account and got Andrew on board.
For the day 2 keynote, we are going to be a little more organized ;-) For one, Ted is going to arrange front row seats, so we can take better pictures and I’ll bring a spare laptop in case one of our batteries run out.
Sadly, I can’t tell you anything about the content for tomorrow’s keynote but I can tell you that we’re gonna have some pretty cool surprises tomorrow! So if you don’t want to miss anything, why not sign up now and you’ll get a reminder when we’re about to start.
A sneak peak behind the scenes at MAX2008
As promised earlier, I sneaked in to the Moscone center this morning to get you a sneak peak of the preparations for Monday’s keynote session. Unfortunately, I am so jetlagged that I was actually way too early. The tech crew was still setting up but at least you now get a quick peak behind the scenes of MAX2008.

Can’t wait to get your hands on Thermo? Here’s how to get it early!
We have been talking about Thermo for a while now and here’s the first question everyone I showed it to asked: When can Iget my hands on it? Well… Here’s the answer: MAX 2008.
I don’t think we’ve ever done something like this before but all MAX
attendees will be able to go home with a preview release of Thermo. I’ve been playing with this version for the last few days to get ready for the hands-on sessions and I have to say that the Thermo team has done an amazing job. Thermo rocks!
We’re also going to reveal the new name for Thermo at MAX. People have already started the guessing game over at g-unix.com. You could win a copy of the Flex 3 In Action book if you guess it right.
See you at MAX!
Thermo and Flash/Flex workflows at MAX
I’m sure most of you know by now that MAX is THE event to get more info on the new technologies that Adobe is working on. We’ve been talking about Thermo for a while now and if you looked at the MAX schedule, I’m sure you noticed that there are quite a few sessions on Thermo at both MAX San Francisco and MAX Milan.
Ryan Stewart is doing a “Next-Generation Flex Authoring” session in both San Francisco and Milan. Ryan will provide walkthroughs and demos of Thermo and Flex Builder Next.
I am going to team up with the Thermo team (NJ and Adam Cath) in San Francisco and with Andrew Spaulding in Milan to do a 90 minute hands-on with Thermo session. In San Francisco, all our lab sessions are sold out but I just saw we have exactly 4 places left in Milan! If you haven’t registered for the lab session, you need to do so now. These hands-on sessions are only available to a limited amount of people and you do need to register for them!
More info on this session in San Francisco.
More info on this session in Milan.
I am also doing a “Flex Workflows with Flash CS4 Professional” session where you’ll learn how to integrate your Flash CS4 designs and animations with Flex development. This is not just about the Flex component kit but I’ll also talk about new workflows between Flash CS4 and Flex that you haven’t heard about yet.

I am really excited about MAX this year. I know I said it before but I’ll say it again. We have so much cool stuff to show you guys at the keynotes and sneak peaks! And I also want to point out that we won’t be announcing everything at MAX in San Francisco. Some of the technologies won’t even be ready at MAX San Francisco but will be ready at MAX Milan!

Also, if you want to meet up in San Francisco or Milan, be sure to drop me a note. See you there!
