Actionscript3, Flash, Scala, Java, C#, C++, Algorithms & Imageprocessing
We really have a premiere this time. Thibault Imbert just released his book “Pratique d’ActionScript 3″ for free.
The story behind this is pretty sad but I have to say this is an awesome move from Thibault. It is about 1000 pages and took more than a year of work.
So if you are French you definitly have to check it out. And do not forget to donate some bucks to support Thibault if the book is useful for you!
If you attended my session about bytecode inlining at FITC Toronto you might remember that I said I have a document covering a lot of common optimization techniques.
After talking to so many of you and getting nice feedback I decided to release it in a state which is a work in progress.
My main idea is still to put this into a Wiki so everybody can share his or her knowledge. Since I am pretty busy the next weeks I do not know when this will happen so for now I hope you get some use out of the PDF.
Please vote in the public Flash tracking system for our request to enhance the Flash Player audio capabilities.
This evening Kai-Philipp and me were playing around with the Hobnox Audiotool to test some of the upcomming Midi features.
In the middle of the performance we lost the connection to the little cubes and had to restart the Midi bridge between Flash and the devices. It is still in an early stage but a whole load of fun.
The little cubes were provided by our colleague Oliver who is currently reviewing them. They are comming from percussa.com and are able to send CC values based on their orientation.
FITC is approaching and I am glad to announce that I will do more than just the one session about inlining bytecode. I will also talk about Hydra again — it will be the “Chop the Hydra!” session from FITC Amsterdam. I think it is a great opportunity to share the Hydra-love on the other side of the hemisphere.
Another interesting part will be the open discussion “3D in Flash: Now and the Future” which Ralph Hauwert will moderate.
I think it will be an awesome event — hope to see you soon!
