Getting ready for MAX 2006 – Vegas!
It is now just over a week until I head down to Las Vegas for Adobe MAX.Last year in LA was just amazing, Adobe was about to take over Macromedia and everyone was speculating what that would mean for the community and the technology. There were a lot of great presentations and conversations (lots of talk about AJAX vs Flash) but the whole thing was overshadowed by the merger. Now this year the merger seems like ancient history… what will be the buzz of MAX 06?
I am guessing I will hear a lot about Spry, Flex, and Flash. The purchase of YouTube by Google will likely be mentioned as a huge win for Flash video. To me, Google has just given 1.65 billion reasons that Flash video is here to say. I am also planning on attending MiniMAX on the Sunday night which has both Tom Green and Scott Fegette talking about Flash video and such.
What I really want to look into, now more than ever, is mobile technology solutions. I probably won’t be able to talk about it much until January but I am involved in a project that makes mobile technology more important to me now 
It is in the early stages but once a pilot is underway I will post more about that – its not me being secretive either, its just I have no idea where this project is going so its best to say very little about it but just so students around know we are trying to do cool things with technology.
I hope to learn lots, meet some interesting people, and refine some ideas while at MAX. At the very least I get to go to Vegas for my first time!
