Attending the FITC festival in San Francisco, the Powerflasher team was interviewed by Adobe and featured in their EDGE website newsletter:
Bruno Fonzi: The impressive new thing is just seeing devices, having Flash working on devices.
Martin Libich: Well, I think in the Flash world, in general, what we are seeing and this is crucial for what we do, is the possibility of taking Flash out of the browser. Using the flexibility of Flash to do what has been done on the web anywhere you want, in the store front, at the counter when you are ordering your latte.
The Conference
In this article, HTLM5 vs. Flash at a Flash Conference, Yosun Chang captured the openness and true interest in digital art design and technology that explores and goes beyond Flash. This is valid for FITC, FlashOnTheBeach (FOTB), FlashAndTheCity (FATC), FlashBelt and many other Community driven conferences around the world! So many hard to mention all, sorry !
Yosun has even missed however the presentation about haxe.org another alternative language to ActionScript or Flex ”Everything you wanted to know about haXe, but were afraid to ask” with Nicolas Cannasse presented at the super cool Influxis Voodoo Lounge
We have also done some interviewed ourselves to some of the haXe fans attending FITC, including the number one fan Nicolas Cannasse 😉
We also had a blast on the rooftop CODAME event, it could not have better a place for Powerflasher to celebrate our first year in USA as a Digital Interactive Development company. Looking forward to new upcoming exciting projects !

A well-attended FDT booth, a FDT session with a lot of great news and a FDT Pure license for every attandee.
FDT at FITC Amsterdam was a thorough success! A lot of people stopped by at our nice booth where we demonstrated FDT especially the new features of FDT 4 Milestone 1. Attendees could test those features like the new Profiler in the FDT test center. There was a FDT card in every goody bag the people could fill out. Everyone who dropped this card at our booth got a free FDT Pure license.
I also had the chance to give a FDT presentation, my debut at a FITC conference. Beside a speed coding demo I demonstrated the improvements of FDT 3.5 and the roadmap as well as the new features of FDT 4 Milestone 1: the Profiler and the Welcome Screen. Slides of the talk can be downloaded here.
I also uploaded some pictures to Flickr.
Have fun,
Michael

Hi folks,
Happy New Year from the whole FDT Team, if it is still ok to say that at mid january!!!
2008 was a tremendous and crazy year for us, with lots of experiences, new FDT editions, tons of new features and we are proud to say, a huge step in the development of the best ActionScript Editor out there. But we do not stay still, we proceed.
2009 is going to be a very promising year with many sleepless nights, but also a brand new FDT feature we are all eagerly waiting for: MXML. With MXML, FDT will become THE solution for all people writing source code in the Flash and Flex World!! But there is more coming from the Powerflasher FDT Team:
We started our new FDT Training Center! You will get customized and standard trainings for AS3 and FDT. Furthermore, you can pass an exam and call yourself “FDT certified developer”.
We will launch “CIPHER”, the Obfuscator developed from Nicolas Cannasse and the FDT Team. Safety for Flash files!!!!
Our PDF Book enters the third dimension. Visualisation of Documents in 3D!!!
We will again come to your area!! Here are the events that we are supporting. We are looking forward to meet you there.
