An article based on a section of my recent Flash Platform Workshop went live on Adobe.com last week. Titled “Adobe Flash and Flex—Which Makes the Most Sense for Your Project?” it’s a short piece that presents a generalized heuristic for developers trying to decide whether they should use Flash or Flex. I hope it’s helpful—feel free to post any feedback!

 

Flash Platform workshop rescheduled for February 25

Announcements, Events, Flash, Flex,
2/5/08

The Flash Platform workshop that was originally set for December has been rescheduled and will now be held on Monday, February 25 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Flash as a platform is a huge topic—I’m going to be concentrating on the Flash and Flex authoring tools, how you know when to use which, and the many ways there are to create content in both using ActionScript 3.0 and MXML.

Anyone is welcome to join this free workshop virtually via Adobe connect. Click here to register. Hope to see you there!

 

Introducing “Generous Machine”

Announcements,
1/19/08

“These machines… They must be generous with our needs. They must be forgiving with our errors. They must be eloquent of ourselves.”

—Grid Farmer Perry, in Chapter Seven of Chroma

Today marks the debut of “Generous Machine,” a freshly minted moniker for this site, and a new domain (generousmachine.com) that points to it. (erikloyer.com will continue to work as well.) I’ve been kicking around the idea of blogging under a title for a few months now, and the right one finally came along over the holidays. For me, this title instinctively evokes my favorite interactive works, and so represents both the best experiences of the past as well as my aspirations for the future. I’ll be returning to developing original content this year—and the “generous machine” will be one standard to be aimed for.

Cheers!
