Nope! I’m on my way to MAX Asia Pacific 2006, and am presenting in both Taipei and Singapore. This will be really exciting for a first time presentation gig. I’ll be presenting on the following 3 topics (all of which are the same, or very similar to the topics presented last week at MAX in Las Vegas by David Zuckerman, Mark Shepherd and Christophe Coenraets) -
- Combining Flex with PHP and Open Source
- Building Rich Internet Applications with Flex Builder
- Combining Flex and Flash Media Server for the Ultimate Engaging Experience
Looks like I better polish up my demo’s on the plane :-p
Cheers!
