Flash on the Beach 2009

18th June 2009

I am pleased and honoured to be invited back to speak at Flash on the Beach this year. FOTB is my favourite conference – ambitious, well organised, and enjoyable. John and his team do a great job of making each year even better than the last, so I expect an amazing conference in September.

Previous years, at this and other conferences, I’ve spoken about game development, or about Flint. This year will be different. In the past 16 months I’ve done very little game development. I have, however, done a lot of development and consultancy on rich internet applications and Flex. In that time I’ve used most of the major (and some minor) application frameworks, and I’ve done experiments and tests with some of the others. So at FOTB this year I’ll be talking about application frameworks. I’ll compare Cairngorm, PureMVC, Mate and Swiz, and perhaps one or two others. I’ll discuss their similarities and differences, what I like and dislike about each, and what matters when choosing which to use in a project.

Last year my session had a full-house and I’m hoping this years session will be as popular and useful. See you in Brighton.

The slides from my session are now online here.
