I wanted to write a quick post to plug our friends at FITC, a fantastic conference that I’ve had the pleasure of attending and/or speaking at a couple of times now.
The line up for the upcoming SF event is pretty crazy – you’ve got your Natzkes and Nakamuras, your Moocks and Michelles, your Skinners and Subramaniams; for real, it’s pretty much a who’s who of the Flash community spanning the last decade, all packed into a 3-day event in SF. I’ve already decided which talks I’m going to see, and which speakers to stalk.
And hey, me too! I’ll be there to present on the Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service (shocking!).
This one should be fun – the tone of FITC lends itself to showing stuff that’s a bit more experimental and cool. Ok, I’m not Keith Peters, but I will say that we’re going to show some pretty crazy, highly requested new functionality for LCCS… This will be the first time we’ll be able to do public demos of it. Expect to be wowed, and to come away ready to build some amazing multi-user apps. Tuesday, August 17. 2:30pm. Be there.
If that weren’t enough, there’s a whole whack of other fine Adobe folks going to be there to get your feedback and answer questions – if you’ve always wanted Ted Patrick‘s autograph, I can’t think of a better venue for getting it.
In summary : If I was you, I’d be buying tickets to this. Early bird pricing ends July 2nd. Also, apparently my name holds great power – use code “npegg” for 10% off.

Just a quick note that I’m going to be presenting a webinar on the LiveCycle Collaboration Service this Wednesday, May 26th, 12 Noon EST / 9AM PST (2 days from now!). It’ll be an hour with me over Connect, and I’ll be presenting a pretty deep dive on building apps using LCCS; lots of coding and demos, as well as a special focus on best practices when using the service. If you’ve ever considered getting started with P2P audio/video, multi-user capabilities, and real-time social features, this webinar will be a great place to kick-start your development. If you’ve seen me present before, I’ll definitely have some new content – I’ve been building an app lately that’s pretty cool (think LCCS+GAE), and I’ll spend some time dissecting it.
Here’s the description :
The Collaboration service enables developers to easily add real-time collaboration and social capabilities to their applications. The service is implemented as LiveCycle Collaboration Service (LCCS). LCCS provides a hosted infrastructure that lets developers add collaboration capabilities to applications rapidly. Adobe hosts the service so developers don’t have to worry about deployment, maintenance, and scalability. Some examples of applications with collaborative capabilities include social games, customer service applications, e-learning solutions and sports broadcasts. Join Nigel Pegg to learn how to add collaboration to new and existing applications.
