FlashPitt is right around the corner boys and girls!  Have you got your tickets yet?  I am really excited to give my session on AS2 to AS3 Migration!  Especially with the recent announcement of Flash CS4.  AS3 is more pertinent than ever!

I hope to see all you loyal blog followers in Pittsburgh on October 10th!
As  you can see above, the badges have been ordered and Tucker, the official FlashPitt dog, is really enjoying them!

In the meantime, if you are in the Pittsburgh area this Thursday, be sure to stop at the PittMFUG meeting for our CS4 Prerelease meeting!

As you might have gathered from the banners on my blog, I’m speaking at Flashpitt in about a month.

I’ll be doing a session with Wayne called AS2 to AS3 Migration.  This will be a great session for anyone still making the move, or not sure about making the move, to AS3.  Don’t worry, this presentation isn’t going to be like reading a textbook; we’re planning to have some fun with it!

We’re on pretty early on in the day which means I’ll actually get to go to a lot of other people’s sessions.  There’s a lot of great sessions on the schedule, but here’s the ones I’m looking to catch:
Papervision3D -  3D on the web is definitely an up and coming trend that’s  going to be around for a while.  What better way to find out more about papervision3D than from one of their team members?

For Position Only -  While I haven’t been doing a lot of design work lately, I’m not going to pass up the chance to see a place like Big Spaceship show off what some of their “in-progress” work looks like.  They do some amazing work and I’m hoping to pick up some tips about their processes that I can use myself.

Physical Computing – Controlling actual physical things with Flash? Need I say more?

Experience First Approach -  Thanks to  all the devices out there — like my awesome iPod Touch –web apps and web sites aren’t just for browsers anymore. That makes this topic is relevant to everything I do.  I’ve heard lots of great things about Stacey’s presentation style, so I’m willing to bet this one will be entertaining too.

The Medium of Interaction -  I hadn’t heard of Golan until Wayne introduced me to his work, which is absolutely amazing. Golan makes interactive installation pieces that are shown all over the world and take the idea of interaction and programming to a whole different level.   He even built a robot as one of his installations.  I think this is going to be a great inspirational talk to end the day with.  Nothing like a good reminder that there’s more to “interactive” than corporate web sites and the like, right?

If you’re going to be at Flashpitt, too track me down and say hi.  Grab your tickets on the Flashpitt site if you haven’t already, this event isn’t one you want to miss.
