When
May 8th 2009, from 10AM to about 6PM.

Furthermore….
There will be a great debate about “RIA vs RIA”…just to start the day…(I can’t wait!!!!)
There will be lots of gadgets
There will be a lot of technology fighting!
IT’S COMPLETELY FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
To get the broadest audience ever all sessions will be taken in italian.

…and finally…I’m back on the stage ready to speak!

I hope to see you all there

Let’s explain what i’m talking about:

Stratus is “hosted rendezvous service that aids establishing communications between Flash Player endpoints”.
This technology enables clients’ flash player (10 +, or AIR 1.5) to connect directly each other to share runtime informations…actually PEER TO PEER!! (underline this: Stratus is a service by Adobe, not a technology to run on own servers).

Stratus does support only “end to end” p2p, multicast or swarming are not supported. This means we’re not enabled to create a new air-mule service over stratus, but we can build our p2p video chat, p2p real time games, etc…

Stratus introduces a new data transfer protocol: RTMFP, which uses UDP instead of clean RTMP which uses TCP. (note, RTMFP is not RTMP*, which is the encrypted protocol for FMS).

Stratus is now beta, and you can test a sample application hosted on the labs Stratus page…

Stratus is going to be released next year (hopefully “early”) …it seems we’re going to have real time “anything” in few months

This could be a new red pill for our webapps,
Stay tuned

Anyway, here’s the news: FlexCamp moved inside Adobe Max Europe (w00t!) and will take place on 30th November in Milan.
Further, every flexcamp attendee will have a HUGE discount on Adobe Max ticket.

Take a look at flexcamp official site to have more informations, anyway… wow… I’m going to speak at Max… It’s an amazing news isn’t it? let’s say woot all together

see you soon in Milan

You can find all pics here on my flickr account page (227 photos…go and come back with a coffee for a better view )

Enjoy

That’s my first thoughts about these few days in Brighton at Flash on the Beach ‘08.

It has been a pleasure to attend such some much AWESOME sessions. I’ve been quite impressed by those by Mario Klingemann and Doug McCune, both very much inspiring even if very technical. I liked so much the session about Flint too which has been very explanatory on many aspects of that good project.

A special mention also for Carlos Ulloa’s session which has been quite inspiring, actually he didn’t talk so much about technical arguments otherwise his speech was about workflow, and expecially papervision3D workflow, so I learned a lot from there

Anyway, FOTB is absolutely great, the greatest conference I ever attended and YOU ALL must go there next year because it could really change your life (your professional I mean…even though brighton is full of nice girls ).

By the way, I’m really happy to have met so many gorgeous people and I feel so much comforted to have seen so much “famous” (in developers’ world I mean ) people being SO friendly! I mean, I shaked the hand of Richard Galvan, Aral Balkan, Ralph Hauwert, Mario Klingemann, Carlos Ulloa, Chris Allen (I still have to offer you that beer man!;) ) and many others… I mean…that’s incredible!

However, I missed Neil’s session…again :\ oh man, i’m really sorry for this, but I’m really happy to have met you again and really I hope to see you soon at someother conference around the world

I even missed Peter Elst’s session, so Peter…I hope to attend your speech at Head conference

further, I met many friends in Brighton (yes Zohar, you’re inside that group) and I’m really glad to have seen again those faces…and..I even tanned myself a bit…so i’m really satisfied

Really nice hotel, rooms are fantastic and location is quite central…anyway my wi-fi won’t run, so I’m spending sometime to blog from the hotel internet cafe.

By the way, I’m really enthusiastic from the beginning of my trip…Just landed and I met Mario Klingemann (Quasimondo), Ralph Hauwert (UnitZeroOne), Chris and Rebecca Allen (infrared5) and Dominick Accattato (infrared5 too), got some beer and went to have some sushi in a really stylish sushi bar near the hotel named “Moshi Moshi”. I was quite surprised to find they’re all REAL! I just follow them in their blog and via twitter so it has been a pleasure for me to have spent so a good time with them

Furthermore, as we exit the hotel we met Aral Balkan and his girlfriend Stephanie… and they joined us for the dinner…

After a good sleep time I got up early in the morning (and still my wifi wouldn’t work) and got around in Brighton for “exploring” after been registered for the conference at the Corn Exchange. In the hotel hall I found Cyril Hanquez and Peter Elst both just arrived from belgium, we got around together, found a couple of squirrels in the park and joined Aral and Stephanie for lunch (japanese…again…ouch..). We also met Dave (the pistach.io guy) and found his hair is really fancy

I’m really impressed, this is my first time in England and Brighton is a really lovely place… I could move here in some time, this town fits quite well the spirit of a bunch of nerds as we are

stay tuned!

(as soon as I can I’m publishing some pic on flickr…unfortunately I lost my mini-usb cable to download my photos :/)

I’m really enthusiastic of getting there, I use to read blogs of speakers I never met yet and it will be a pleasure to listen and talk to them “live”, further, I’m meeting again some great people I knew at 360 Flex in Milan such as Neil, Koen, Zohar (yes, I installed kaltura plugin for wordpress ), Franto, and many others (and even my best friend Luca )

stay tuned for comments and follow ups

Tweensy is mainly 2 things: a tween manager (such as tweener or tweenlite) and a gfx generator which includes a particle emitter, a bitmap render system.

Till now I’m getting that kind of effects by combining tweener with a custom particle emitter or flint library, I’m very curious to try out this new promising framework

Join the party, we’re going to share together our nerdy love for Adobe Flex!
Just compile the widget and submit that form

I left my hometown and I moved to Switzerland, I left the company I founded to join an ambitious startup, so new home (and no internet connection till a week ago °_°’) , new job, new places, new friends, new anything and no time for networking…:\

However, here I am, back again,

stay tuned
