I’m really happy to announce that I will be instructing my Flash MX 2004 Enterprise Development course will be running in London on May 24-26. It is being organized in cooperation with the extremely capable Aral Balkan of Bits and Pixels. This is a highly comprehensive 3 day workshop dealing with:

• the new developer features of Flash MX 2004
• code standards and efficiency
• Object-Oriented Programming and theory
• Object-Oriented analyis and design
• Design patterns
• Team coordination
• Usability and user-experience
• Application architecture
• Development process

You can get full information on the course, and register online at https://secure.bitsandpixels.co.uk/training/grant/.

If you have any questions about the workshop, feel free to email me (contact button above), or comment below.

Wow, this is awesome! I was just directed to the Flash In The Can 2004 Awards Finalists page, and am really excited to see that I’m one of the three finalist for Best Canadian Flash Developer. I’m up against two other great developers: John Iocaviello (developer of Fresh Media Interactive, Gum Blondes, etc) and someone (Jeff Vermeersch, perhaps?) from Unplugged Studio. I’m thrilled, eh! 🙂

FitC is going to be a great conference, so be sure to check out the conference site. Also, a quick reminder that I am going to be teaching an intensive workshop on “Flash MX 2004 Enterprise Development” immediately before the conference that we still have a few seats left for.

If you have your own thoughts and ideas about this issue, please post them in the comments at the end.
