It’s conference season at the moment for geeks, and one of the best going around is of course Sydney’s own webDU. This is seriously one of the best conferences for the web and technology industries, and always delivers a high standard of content and entertainment :)

This will be my 7th webDU, and 6th as a speaker. This year I’ll be speaking about mobile marketplaces and the technologies that allow us to go to market quickly, and there’s some other great mobile content at the conference as well, including a great session from Rod Farmer and Oliver Weidlich.

I encourage you to get along to webDU this year – this time at a new venue at the famous Bondi Beach!

A new video (and the last in this series!) has been added to the “Developing with Flash Lite” series – “Looking to the Future: Flash Player 10.1“.

In this final episode of the Developing with Flash Lite series, we take a look at the main points surrounding the next stage of the Flash mobile platform – Flash Player 10.1. Find out what it all means for Flash developers creating rich mobile applications from 2010 and beyond.

I say this in the video, but wanted to also call it out here – a special thanks goes to Alan Tam and Mark Doherty at Adobe for their help in putting this video series together. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve had some great feedback from the community to say that it’s been worthwhile, which of course the main reason for doing it! Thanks everyone for watching, and maybe we’ll throw together some more videos in 2010.

Device Central is going through some significant changes and improvements to cater for a Flash Platform that is maturing and growing across multiple screens. In this episode, we take a look at an early pre-release version of Device Central CS5 and some of the new features particularly around Device Profiles.

I’m hoping to bring some more video tutorials on Device Central CS5 in the new year, as it progresses through the beta phase. I also have one more video to deliver in this current Flash Lite series, so stay tuned!

In this episode we dive into a demo of how to access the camera using ActionScript and Nokia’s API Bridge.
