david coletta's max talk

David Coletta from Virtual Ubiquity (Buzzword) will be giving a talk on optimization in Flex a the Adobe MAX conference next week. He was gracious enough to include a screen cast of an application I've been working on called Web Watcher : www.webwatcherapp.com in his talk. Make sure you make it to one of his sessions. I'll be there, so say 'hi'!

facebook interview on crn

I was recently part of a group interview session with Stacy Cowley from CRN. Here's a snippet of the article where I was quoted:

'...Adam Flater, an EffectiveUI software architect, sees Facebook's fluffiness as an essential part of its appeal.

"Users are adopting things for their sheer entertainment value right now. When a client wants adoption, these are the tools to do that with," Flater said.'

Stacy asked some really important, informed questions. I'll most definitely be following her articles in the future.
