I received confirmation today that I will be speaking at Flash In The Can 2004 (Toronto) in early April. I will be speaking on coding production-friendly ActionScript 2.0. Rather than rehash syntax, I will focus on how to actually apply AS2.0 to real projects in the most effective manner possible. I really feel it will be a phenomenal session, given the ramp-up I will have in the preceding speaking engagements, and the practical knowledge I am gaining from a number of projects that I have been working on.

In January and February, I will be instructing “FlashMX 2004 Enterprise-level Development” at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. This is a 36 hour course, spread over 4 weeks, covering advanced Flash development.

At the end of January, I will doing a guest lecture to fourth year Arts students at the University of Alberta (topic to be finalized), which I’m pretty psyched about.

In early March, I will be doing an Ask The Experts session at FlashForward San Francisco, dealing with basically the same topic as my FitC session. I will begin with a short session discussing my development techniques, best practices, and look at some real world examples; then provide attendees with an opportunity to ask questions about implementing AS2.0 in their projects. This should help provide a great foundation of really relevant material for my FitC session.

Hope to see some of you at these events. Be sure to say “hi” if you see me!
