Multimediacollege FlashLite Afterhours Presentation Files
Last week I gave a Flash Lite afterhours session at multimediacollege. I talked about all the basics you need to know when you want to start developing mobile content. At the beginning I talked a bit about Flash Lite adoption, Interface Design, Usability and User-Context. I also gave some tips and tricks to keep an eye on the cpu and memory management. The second part was more code based, having some demos showing how to do stuff like key and device interaction, loading external data like xml and video, some text rendering, tweening images and even some twitter and flickr implementation based on Aral’s SWX Library.
For those who could not make it to the session you can download my presentation files here. If you have any questions feel free to drop a comment!
I had a great time and if you attended my session don’t hesitate giving some feedback.
