RE: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
Not too sure about conferences. We have UX in London but not sure how much focus is on JS. On the forum / educational side I have found the following resources invaluable: CSS www.css-tricks.com Chris Coyier's screencasts and blog posts are awesome for learning simple and advanced css authoring and keeping up-to-date with best practices. Experts Exchange http://www.experts-exchange.com/ This is a subscription based service but the quality of programming advice for every language including JS is well worth it For IDE's it's difficult and for me, the single biggest barrier to entry because of the huge number of development options. The key is to find a workflow that works best for you but the following resources I cannot recommend highly enough: - Sublime Text 2 - Wordpress (Bones HTML5 Development Theme) - CSS using SASS (Compass.App) - Greensock Animation Library Sublime Text 2 - Text Editor http://www.sublimetext.com/2 There are thousands of extensions and packages I don't know where to begin If you're learning HTML5 then learning responsive design techniques is a must - this involves using CSS media queries so once you have grasped the basics of CSS, be sure to move to using pre-processing language like SASS or LESS - there's a great article on css tricks about the benefits and merits of each method. I use SASS and it's sped up my whole development process 10 fold!). To do this on Windows I use compass.app http://compass.handlino.com/ If you're using Mac, then Codekit includes libraries for compass. I do a lot of web development in Wordpress, there are a lot of great resources out there but if you're really looking to learn best practices for Responsive Web Design then you cannot go wrong with the Bones HTML5 Theme, amazingly well commented http://themble.com/bones/ Animation: jQuery is obviously ubiquitous but if you're a flasher then you've probably used Tweenmax in AS3 and if you loved using that as much as I did then you should definitely try the new Greensock for JavaScript library. http://www.greensock.com/ It provides a nice, familiar syntax and a ton of plugins that make animation in html5 a lot easier than using jQuery plugins which seem to have a short shelve life due to continual updates of the jQuery library (Can also be used on conjunction with jQuery). I haven't tried Sencha yet but look forward to dipping my toe soon.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
Hello mates, I think that the list is missing one of the most important js library for flashist of of there, that is the createjs http://www.createjs.com/ As you all, I'm a flashist (10 years of experience) that had to (re)learn html and javascript. When I began to use createjs, in particular easeljs I was really pleased because it seemed to me to program (quite) exactly as in Flash. A demo is worth 1000 words so here it is 2 demos I made in html/js by using that library (obviously I use also a lot jquery as support and the greensock libs for tweening): Monkey Island - Insult Swordfighting Game http://www.int33h.com/test/mi/ Dungeon Master Social Demo http://www.int33h.com/test/dm/ I'm really pleased by the results.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
This is a really interesting thread. I have been creating Flash content for about 10 years, mainly online small games for clients. Recently I have noticed a real decline in the amount of work in this area no doubt as a result of such games not working on IOS devices. However I have not had any enquiries asking for HTML5 games. I am keen to get up to speed with HTML5 but wonder if there will be sufficient demand especially for HTML5 games. Any freelancers out there who previously made a living making Flash games now getting most of their work in HTML5? If so what type of content are you creating in HTML5? Is it websites, games, apps? It all seems quite a backward step especially in relation to the games. Fortunately I am loving creating games for the IOS and Android with Flash CS6 and AIR though I am making these for myself currently.

We're transitioning away from Flash mostly and into the HTML/Javascript/CSS world of interactive development. We used to attend Adobe Max, but since we're doing less and less with Adobe products, what conferences would you suggest? What is/are the biggest and best interactive design conferences for people in our industry that use these technologies? Bascially, we were Flash developers and now do most of our stuff with Javascript/HTML/CSS to build interactive simulations and games for learning. What would be the equivalent of Adobe Max? Great question. Many, like us, are in the same transition as you. Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May, followed by DefCon5, which is in our hood, NYC, late July.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May I'd second Fluent, based on feedback I got about the last one. I didn't attend myself, though. Once you have a specific toolset, you might find other, more directed, conferences. For example, we do a lot of stuff with Sencha (Touch, EXT-JS, EXT for GWT, Sencha Designer) and they have their own conference called, appropriately enough, SenchaCon. On an unrelated note, I recommend you check out Sencha Designer, which is shaping up to be a very nice tool. You might also want to check out Google I/O - although this is certainly not a JS conference, they do cover a lot of technologies that rely heavily on JS.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
The Sencha stuff is certainly worth looking in to, considering previous Flex/Flash evangelists are on the Sencha team now. Of course, that's a larger framework that comes with certain expectations as opposed to understanding the underlying technology and learning needed to excel in that field. Remix South, founded and organized by one of my colleagues may be of interest as well. I'm not sure where you are located, Jason, but it might be of some value to connect with those that are converting from the Flash to web space. This conference, specifically, is growing rapidly and many of those attending came from the 'interactive designer' or 'interactive developer' space and are broadening their interests. http://remixsouth.com/ BTW, I miss this list. I spent many years on flashcoders and flexcoders and have moved on. Sort of amazing to see that, one in a great while, there is still some activity here! cheers, jon bradley cynergy. | Director, Research Development O: 585.563.2132M: 585.729.0837 @: jon.brad...@cynergy.com On Jan 24, 2013, at 1:58 PM, Dave Watts wrote: Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May I'd second Fluent, based on feedback I got about the last one.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
FITC is a great conference, I love it for the different aspects of design and technology, and it comes fron the Flash side. I am living in europe and we have multi - mania in Belgium, a great conference and all free. http://www.multi-mania.be/2013/conference/ There are always lots of smaller, regional meetings which can give new input: But a good start, as others mentioned here too, is Sencha. They provide a few groups/meetups: http://www.sencha.com/meetups Where I found people for answers or questions.
