Sounds encouraging. Might have to reweigh the conference price tag.

Hi Scott,

I can’t talk specifics, but you can expect most questions to be answered. There will be demos of code and apps at a minimum, including AIR, Flash 10 and Flex.

Well done on the book!

We’ve been working on a new Flash Mobile and Device book people may be interested in:

AdvancED Flash on Devices: Mobile Development with Flash Lite and Flash 10
http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781430219040

Of course, much of the FP10 content is very early, to say the least. Nevertheless, we thought it important to try to get a resource out there … one that covers both Flash Lite development and even early FP10 on devices (Flex and AIR).

Those interested in developing for Flash Lite specifically, can pick up the legacy Foundation book: http://www.flashmobilebook.com (although it only covers 1.1 and 2.x development, a lot of content can be valuable for developers).

Of course, there are tons of other great materials online as well.

Whoops “I wouldn’t expect that” from Adobe.

Mark, just to be clear … so by “preview”, Adobe doesn’t mean they’re going to blaze through some demos and/or screenshots in 15 minutes, and then leave a full room of developers queued up in a line with questions to talk to any empty room?

Just check’in.

I wouldn’t think so, given past Adobe MAX’s, I would expect that, and I hope Apple didn’t set a trend in this (snooty) behavior.
