AIR Tour Europe - Week 3

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Update from the tour! We've just completed the first week of the our tour in Europe. We started in Stockholm, then after 18hrs of train rides and a Ferry ride across the Baltic Sea we ended up in Berlin, the final event in Warsaw was in the Olympic Center in Warsaw, Poland.

All the usual suspects are here and we've now been joined by Ben who's a freelance developer that built the Parley's Flex and AIR app for putting together presentation slides in sync with video and audio. It's a pretty slick app for video editing that's doing some pretty advanced AS3 magic with the videos and key framing behind the scenes. I'd imagine a service like Slideshare could really benefit from an app like that.

We also had Marco Kaiser the developer from Twhirl talk his experiences building the Twitter client. He said he was a relative newbie to Flex, ActionScript and AIR when he started. That's pretty impressive considering it seems to be one of the commercially successful AIR apps with it's recent acquisition by Seesmic.

Of course all the regular event shenanigans are going on guitar hero, great food and lots of interesting RIA developers very interested in AIR.

Tomorrow we catch a train to Prague, Czech. I'm looking forward to catching up on some sleep from the weekend.

Check our Mike Camber's review too for more info.
