I’ve just arrived home this afternoon from another exhausting but thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring webDU conference. This was my 6th conference (5th as a speaker) and I love my time at this event more and more each year.Geoff, Julie and the whole Daemon team have done themselves proud again with putting on this event – well done guys. They always know how to look after their speakers as well as putting on a great event for delegates, and I count it among the high points of my year coming and being part of this community of talented presenters.

The mobile session I gave on packaging Flash content was the best attended Flash mobile session in the last 5 years. Great attendance matched with great questions from an attentive audience, most of whom really seem to be getting hold of the bigger multi-screen opportunities with Flash but are particularly happier with where Flash is going on mobile.

Worth also mentioning that the other sessions related to iPhone, Google and Windows Mobile also had excellent interest and attendance, proving that within the “web technology” community, the mobile platform is really starting to step up and take some developer mind-share.
