It seems that I convinced the powers-that-be to let me go to Adobe MAX again, and this year I’ll be speaking and representing Yahoo! We’ve got an Inspire session all lined up to talk about integration. Integration of what? Flash, JavaScript, Yahoo! web services, AIR, and more.

For my part of the session, I’ll be talking about the integration of Flash visualizations with the ever-popular YUI library. I’ll be pushing the power and advantages of Flash visualizations into the hands of frontend developers who normally work with other technologies. I can’t wait to share more details about this one. We’re cooking up some cool stuff.

Session Outline

About a year ago Yahoo! has launched the very successful Yahoo Developer Network around tools, services, examples, and developer support. Yahoo! has also been working internally on Flash and Flex for a long time and released Web-Service APIs and most recently component libraries around Flash with a similar approach as YUI has done for JavaScript. In this session we are going to show examples on how we use those technologies as well as how you can create your own applications and use Yahoo! services and components. Examples shown range from AIR and Search, Flash and Ajax, over to Yahoo! Badging, WebAPIs and developer tools.

When is it?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007. 9:15 am – 10:15 am.

If you’ll be at MAX, be sure to say hi if you see me. If you attend our session, I’d love to chat if you afterwards if you want to share some of cool ways you’re planning to use our components and libraries, or if you have suggestions for how we can improve our open source Flash efforts at Yahoo! Got an interesting component for Flash or Flex that you need? We might think it’s useful and cool too. Let us know at MAX!
