Presenting on FCS at MAX 2004 China

I have been honoured with an offer from Macromedia to be a speaker at MAX 2004 in Taiwan coming up this November 9,10. I don't think many know about this MAX event because almost it's at the exact same time as the one in the US, which is a bit disappointing as this is the very first time for Macromedia China to have a MAX event. I would think that MM would advertise a bit more.

I'll be speaking about Flash Communication Server with Mike Downey for 2 sessions. The topics are:

Developers introduction to Flash Communication Server and application development
Starting from the basics of Flash Communication Server and moving quickly on to building a simple application with and without components, this session should help you understand what Flash Communicatin Server is capable of doing and how you can take advantage of it in your applications. This session is tuned more towards the first timers to FCS but even a slightly experienced FCS application developer should be able to take advantage of the information presented.

Performance Tuning and Troubleshooting Flash Communication Server
Learn how to avoid common mistakes and how to keep your applications running in an efficient manner when developing with Flash Communication Server Common stumbling blocks are covered along with multiple ways of what you can do to debug your application when it won't run the way you expect. Beginners can take advantage of this session to brush up on recommended styles of developing for FCS while the more intermediate crowd can use the presented information as a stepping stone onto more advanced topics.

The second session is on day 2 at 9 in the morning.. ugh.. tough crowd them morningers...

Originally there was only going to be one session, but I have so much in my head to get out about FCS that there is no way I was going to be able to explain it all in an hour. Even 2 hours in total is extremely short, but hopefully most will get the idea of what is up if they don't already know by now. I really wonder how much FCS has infiltrated the apps and sites in China, but am not having much luck finding out by searching as I can't read Chinese. Although I have been informed by MM China that people will probably know how to mess with FCS and will most likely have some hardcore questions for me. Sounds like fun :D

Anyways, this should be pretty exciting I think and I hope there is a large turnout to get the info out to as wide an audience as possible.

Also from what I understand the sessions are taped, hopefully I can snag a copy and stick it up on my blog. I will try to get the materials that I use up here though, so if you're looking for some free study materials pop back in when I post 'em up.
