FDT @ FOTB

August 25, 2011 by Carlo Matic

We are glad again to be sponsoring this year’s Flash on the Beach in the beautiful city of Brighton, UK. The prestigious conference for designers and coders likewise will take place September 11 through September 14. According to tradition we will have a surprise in our luggage

“Surprise” was the word making you keep reading, right? But save your false hope, we promise it will stay secret until FOTB! If you want to attend the revealing in person – there are still tickets left; otherwise have no worries, we will of course share it on the usual channels such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter.

About FOTB

Flash on the Beach’s goals are to bring the best minds in design and development to share, educate and inspire. The conference offers the opportunity to get hands-on technical training and hear breaking news from the web community. It is a valuable opportunity to network with peers, renowned speakers and us, the team of Powerflasher and FDT.

Like every year we invite you not only to our booth to respond to your questions and comments on FDT, we also like to have a good time with you and our famous repowering Dutch energy drinks. Here are a few impressions from last year.

Of course …

… there is also something to win. Among all FOTB attendees we draw the winner of one FDT 4 Max version.

See you in Brighton!

Video: From code optimization to bytecode optimization

September 25, 2009 by Carlo Matic

Joa showed all of his Open-Source Eclipse plug-ins he wrote within the last months. He started to write a whole framework called Apparat to optimize flash applications in different ways like reducing filesize of embedded images and changing bytecode commands as well as using bytecode inline.

The result was an unbelievable groth of frames per second. Though not all of the plug-ins are ready to use it was very impressive to see what is possible at the lowest level of coding. So fasten your seat belts and take a look yourself how fast a SWF can be: Part 1 & Part 2.

new year, new things from FDT

January 13, 2009 by Carlo Matic

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.

FITC Amsterdam
FOTB Miami
Roadshow New York City (contact us for appointments)
FITC Toronto
Flashforum Cologne
Web DU Sydney
Flash on Tap Boston
Flashbelt Minneapolis

cheers,
