Just a heads up, but Scott Janousek (coauthor of Foundation Flash Applications for Mobile Devices, and the upcoming AdvancED Flash on Devices: Mobile Development with Flash Lite and Flash 10) will be giving talks at few upcoming conferences starting in September (and into October).

Scott will be giving 2, (yes, two presentations) at FITC Mobile in Toronto in September:

Leveraging Accelerometers in Mobile Devices

In this session, we'll look at some cool things you can do today with accelerometer hardware found commonly in millions of mobile and devices, whether it be Apple's iPhone, or millions of other mobile devices from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and other mobile device manufacturers. We'll explain basic fundamentals on how accelerometers work, as well as explore how to harness the power of accelerometer technology in a range of different devices.

Who this presentation is for: Developers who want to learn about some of the ways to tap into accelerometer on devices (not just iPhone).

What attendees will take from this presentation: Attendees will come away understanding how to better apply force and motion based feedback interaction to their mobile content through accelerometers; not only across not only iPhone, but also other mobile device platforms.

Practical Design and Development with Flash on Mobile and Devices

The Flash player is on hundreds of millions of mobile and other non-PC devices. It is a great runtime to quickly create effective applications and compelling experiences targeting both mobile and other device platforms (e.g. Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, webOS).

Attend this session to take a journey through the pains and pleasures of design and development with the Flash Platform across mobile and devices. The session will cover: application design and development with Flash and ActionScript, testing with Adobe Device Central, and deploying content with the Adobe Mobile Packager. We'll cover working with Flash Lite, as well as prepping for Flash 10.

Audience:
This presentation is targeted at those with an interest in learning how to leverage the Flash Platform on mobile and devices. It will feature examples drawn from real (Flash Lite) projects, as well as many Flash community endeavors.

Attain:
Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Flash runtimes across mobile and devices, as well as practical matters when designing and developing with the Flash Platform.

Scott will also be presenting at this year's FlashPitt conference in October:

Flashpitt 2009
October 15 & 16, 2009
9am to 6pm
Sheraton Station Square
300W Station Square Dr.
Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Brewing Non-PC Flash Experiences

Flash now runs across over one billion devices. Scott Janousek, Adobe Community Expert for Mobile and Devices and co-author of "Foundation Flash Applications for Mobile Devices", will cover what's new in the exciting world of Flash on the Non-PC realm. This session will include an overview of the latest tools, products, and services from Adobe that designers and developers can leverage to create compelling experiences across Non-PC device platforms (e.g. mobile phones, Mobile Internet Devices, and other Consumer Electronic Devices).

This Session Is For (Flash) Developers looking to hear about what's new in Flash Mobile and Devices What Attendees Will Walk Away With: A comprehensive overview of the Flash Mobile Platform, as well as discussion about real world projects.

These are really cool opportunities to hear what's new with Flash across mobile and devices, as well as hear from many other talented folks in the (mobile) industry!
