As mentioned a few days ago I had the opportunity to speak at MiniMAX in Santa Monica last Wednesday evening. Well I have posted the slides (not sure how useful they are) and all of the source code from the talk. I have also posted the slide app (written in Flash) and slide controller (AIR/Android app) source code for you to learn from and use on your own.

Soon I will be posting tutorials on Scriptplayground covering AIR/Android and other Flash mobile topics, along with a full site rollout in the near future.

Enjoy, comment, share and most of all, happy coding!

Thats right, I just noticed AIR for Android is available on the Marketplace.

Simply type “adobe air” and you’ll be welcomed with a quick and free download. Not sure if this means AIR/Android is coming out soon for developers but its pretty damn exciting.

On a related note my talk on Flash Mobile that i’ll be presenting at MiniMax is really starting to kick ass. I have some cross device workflows, tips, tricks and sample code. All materials and code will be provided to attendees of my talk for free, with some bonuses. If you are going to be around, please stop on by.

More about this AIR/Android topic soon. As always keep a watch on Scriptplayground for new tutorials, especially on Flash mobile, in the coming weeks!

I am sure you are well aware Google announced everything but the kitchen sink at their latest Google IO conference. However i’m not sure enough emphasis was placed on one of their announcements.

That one being Google TV. No this isn’t Googles version of Apple TV but more an interactive experience that engages the user and makes the content come alive and no not in 3d!

Google TV is said to allow content like YouTube, Hulu, Amazon and Netflix and deliver it to your TV with ease, just like in front of your computer. However unlike your computer developers will be able to build full apps to take advantage of this time the world spends in front of their TV.

One aspect of Google TV that catches my attention is the ability to build these Apps using Android, so in theory I could build a mobile and TV version of my app, sync the content and allow the whole family to interact. Imagine being able to let grandma keep tabs on her family, this is what WebTV was meant to be years ago.. Google just seems to be doing it right.
