Voices that Matter Web Design 2008 Workshop::Adobe© AIR® for Designers

Voices That Matter is a relatively new series of conferences put on by the publisher Pearson Education (who owns Peachpit Press, for whom I do most of my book writing). Their first Web Design conference was held in the Fall 2007 and was very well received. Their second Web Design conference is being held in Nashville, Tennessee (US) from Wednesday, June 11th, to Friday, June 13th, 2008. On Tuesday, June 10th, there are four pre-conference workshops, one of which is "Adobe AIR for Developers", with yours truly as the presenter. It runs from 9:00AM until 12:30PM. You can view a description of the workshop at http://voicesthatmatter.com/webdesign2008/workshops.aspx#adobeair. Information about the conference as a whole is available at the Web site. You can register for the entire conference, for just one or two workshops, or for the conference plus one or two workshops. If you use the code WDDSPKR (case-sensitive), you'll receive a $200 (US) discount. I don't do many engagements like this anymore (since my kids were born), so I'm excited about this rare opportunity to get out and interact with others and to show people how they can be using Adobe AIR. If you have any questions about this workshop, let me know.

I highly recommend that attendees download the following before the conference, if you have not already (all are free):

If you are using either Adobe Dreamweaver or Aptana Studio, you should configure them for Adobe AIR application development. For details, see the corresponding Help files, search the Web, or email me. If you're not already using Dreamweaver, I would recommend grabbing Aptana Studio: it's free and runs on most platforms.

Thanks for your interest in this presentation!

A beta version of the presentation I'll be giving is available for viewing in the following formats. A word of warning: I'm creating the presentation using Keynote and unfortunately it exports things rather largely, so I apologize for the large file sizes. Hopefully, the high-quality presentation I'm striving for will make up for the extra download time.
