With CS5 now available the EMEA Evangelism team have been hard at work prepping for our upcoming tour and the Online Developer Week. The course of events will fall between June 7th – 10th covering everything from design in Photoshop CS5 to development, and even deployment of your applications using the Flash Platform suite of tools.

The tools covered will include Flash Builder, Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, Flex 4 and the Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2 runtimes. In my own session we’ll also be covering Device Central and some asset optimization guidelines for targeting mobile phones.

We’ll also look at P2P with Flash Player 10.1 as well as Livecycle, PHP and Java integration on the backend.

Schedule:

June 7th – 12:00 – 13:00 GMT Erase the Designer to Developer gap: Adding interactions to your design with Serge Jespers

Device Central CS5 – Dreamweaver Integration

Posted by Mark Doherty in Creative Suite 5, Device Central Updates on April 14, 2010

Device Central CS5 represents a huge leap forward for mobile development. It’s going to take some time to get around the key features, and so I have decided to break it down into a few video posts starting with Dreamweaver.

Flash Player 10.1 in the context of mobile devices will require some basic changes to ensure that the user experience is maintained for your new audience. The first step is to get some basic device detection working, and I don’t mean every device; focus on your key visitors. A rule of thumb in mobile is that 20% of the top devices will give you 80% of the audience, we call that relevant reach.

Luckily with the integration of Flash Player 10.1, webkit and Dreamweaver integration, creating mobile web sites for your Flash applications couldn’t be simpler.
