webDU 2008 presentations now available

It’s take some time, but finally here it is! I’ve made my presentations available via Share on Acrobat.com for everyone to view or download for their own use.

Flex in Acrobat 9… It’s PDF meets Web 2.0
This session covered the latest integration between Flash and PDF given that with both Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 the Flash Player runtime is now embedded within both environments. What does this mean?! Well you can now render Flash content directly within a PDF, but also add interactions between the PDF and the Flash objects themselves. I’ll post a separate follow up on this with some examples files. This really does open the door for some cool integration.

A special thanks to Joel Geraci for his help on this one!

Build multi-user real time collaboration applications with Flex and AIR
This session touched on basic data integration all the way from XML with HTTPServices, Java and ColdFusion connectivity with RemoteObjects, moving on to collaboration and messaging with BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services. From building a chat application to enterprise data management this session should provide a basic introduction to collaborative apps.
