I’m looking forwards to a few great upcoming events that I’m pleased to be a part of.

FlashForward New York is next week, and it’s looking great. They have added another track of seminars and have some really great speakers lined up. I’m already marking off the sessions I want to attend. I’ll be running a session called “Dissecting Puki“, which looks at the inspiration, code and architecture behind the “Puki: The Swarm” game, as well as participating in a panel on the Flash community, along with some other well known Flashers. Bobi and I are going down early to check out the July 4 fireworks, and have a mini-honeymoon (ya, honeymoon around a Flash conference – how nerdy).

At the end of July, I am speaking at a workshop at the Banff Centre called “Flash’n’Splash“, where attendees get 2 days of Flash training, and a day of white water rafting. Nice! It looks like I will probably be doing a couple of sessions here – one on Puki, and the other on Object Oriented Programming.

I will also be speaking at Macromedia MAX this year in Anaheim about “What’s New in Next Generation Flash“, which should prove to be a lot of fun – 8ball looks like the biggest release since Flash4!

Finally, I plan on running a few workshops later this fall on OOP and/or 8ball – both in my city, and potentially at a few other locations. I’ll post updates when I have them.

Busy, busy.
