I've been programming for longer than I like to admit.. I started developing for the web in 1997, wrote my first CGI scripts that talked to MySQL in C++. It has been a long journey since then; I love AS3, such a relief after 2-3 years of full-time AS2. I teach, coach, architect and develop applications (no ads or micro-sites for me!) in Flash ActionScript full-time since 1995. I am particularly interested by Multi-Touch technology, intuitive interfaces, video and communication tools.
Flash Player 10.1 & Multi-Touch View session page
English session
Flash Player 10.1 will offer Multi-Touch capabilities. I will be presenting the API (TouchEvent, Multitouch Object) and how to use it!
I will also present a homebrewed multi-touch API that allows 1 to 1 manipulation of objects on the screen covering rotation, scaling and moving of the object.
If I have time, I can show how to add inertia to this system.

Consuming REST webservices in AS3 View session page
English session
In the last few years, REST webservices have become the standard for a number of reasons: interoperability, simplicity, effectiveness.
I will cover a best practice of consuming REST webservices in AS3:
* using a singleton as the center of the API
* identifying the requests using IDs
* doing GET and POST requests
* how to get around Flash's limitations and do PUT & DELETE requests
* basic XML manipulation using e4x
