NIGHT #1: Mon. June 15th – Free Night: MMO & Augmented Reality
Have Fun!
AGENDA A: Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) technology has arrived in all forms of gaming. Giants like Blizzard’s ‘World of Warcraft’ define the commercial-subscription genre, and newbies like Webkinz and Club Penguin have burst on the scene with amazing financial success. Page based Web 1.0 interactivity is no longer competitive. Embrace the paradigms of the emerging ‘Web 2.0′, with an MMO’s unique and engaging new format. In this session we will overview MMOs as the sublime progeny of Web 2.0 & the Rich Internet Application (RIA). Learn to create a simple, fully functioning MMO social experience in less time than you think. While the examples shown will be specific to Flex 3 for deployment to the browser, this session is equally relevant for application developers of other technologies including Adobe Flash CS3 and Adobe Flex 3 for Adobe AIR desktop deployment.
Get Inspired!
AGENDA B: Augmented reality (AR) adds graphics, sounds, and more to the natural world around you. You can expect video games to drive the development of augmented reality, but this technology will have countless applications. The technology adds computer-generated graphics to your field of vision. Augmented reality will truly change the way we view the world. Using the power of the Adobe Flash player, Adobe Flex Builder, and a few open API’s, augmented reality has arrived on your desktop. With a webcam, AR will replace part of the live video footage it sees with Papervision3D computer models, animated in real-time. It is impressive and inspirational. Learn the basic background of augmented reality, and how to setup your first project using the technology.
AUDIENCE: All levels of designers and developers for Flash will enjoy this talk! We will show code, but there is also some just plain fun! Laptops are not required. Attendees will get inspired and learn the basics of two projects. All source code and documentation will be available to attendees.

NIGHT #2: Tue. June 16th – Premium Night: Intro to PureMVC for Flash & Flex (4 Hours)
Superpower your Flash and Flex Development Skills!
AGENDA: Architect new projects of all sizes in a more scalable and maintainable way with the free & powerfull PureMVC Framework. Revisit projects and easily add new features. Collaborate on teams with confidence.
PureMVC is a light framework for creating applications based on the class Model-View-Controller meta design pattern. It has a very narrow goal, to provide design patterns AND development patterns to help you separate your programming into three distinct areas; data, user interface, and the application logic. It is approachable and powerful with minimal tedium and repetition in development. While the examples shown will be specific to Adobe Flex 3 for deployment to the browser, this session is equally relevant for application developers of other technologies including Adobe Flex 3 for Adobe AIR desktop deployment.
AUDIENCE: Intermediate to advanced Adobe Flash CS4 and Adobe Flex 3 developers with equivalent ActionScript 3.0 knowledge. This is not for beginner developers or for designers; its pretty technical. Laptops are not required. Attendees will have another tool in their belt for organizing readable, efficient, maintainable projects. All source code and documentation will be available to attendees.
OUTLINE:
- Section 1: Background of and Benefits of PureMVC
- What is a framework?
- What is PureMVC?
- Section 2: PureMVC Applied
- Setting up a new PureMVC project
- Implementing all features of PureMVC
- Extending an application with new features
- Section 3: PureMVC Next Steps
- PureMVC vs. Other Frameworks
- 10 Tips for PureMVC
- What’s next?
