Meeting Reminder: Wednesday 6pm

November 2nd, 2009 Chris Griffith

This Weds, 6pm at the Art Institute San Diego (South Building) , Tom Gonzalez (@twgonzalez) will be speaking on Axiss/Data Viz. To get a running start on this topic, Tom wrote a great introduction to Axiss on O’Reilly’s InsideRIA.

I will also be giving a presentation on the design and development of the mobileMAX schedule application that was used during the recent Adobe MAX conference.

Hope to see you there!


Announcing an unofficial mobile MAX Schedule app

October 1st, 2009 Chris Griffith

With Adobe MAX is fast approaching and I wanted to let everyone know about a mobile application that I wrote for use during the conference. I have always hated the fact that I had a tiny schedule in my badge holder, a printed piece of paper with the sessions I signed up for, and a more detailed session booklet in my bag. Since I work for a mobile company, I knew there had to be a better way, so I tried to build one; mobileMAX ( http://bit.ly/mobileMAX ) .

This application is available for Flash Lite 3.1 devices, select Flash Lite 2.1 devices, select Window Mobile devices, and yes, even a version the works on the iPhone (not Flash).

The application contains the full session and speaker information for the conference. Additionally, the schedules for the four unConferences are included.

I was also able to find a solution that allows your schedule to be loaded onto your device. You will need to follow the simple steps outlined on the web page to enable this.

Hope you enjoy this application. You can learn more about the application on my personal blog chrisgriffith.wordpress.com
