Presenting at SXSW and 360Flex!

This is such an exciting season and probably the biggest speaking events I’ve even been apart of.

Coming up in March Dedo Inc. will be presenting on going multi-screen at SXSW. Christian Cantrell of Adobe, Andre Charland of Nitobi (PhoneGap), along with Danny Dura of Dedo Inc., Mark Miller of Dedo Inc. and myself will be showing off different techniques and platforms of how to go multi-screen.

In April, I will be presenting along with Antonio Holguin at 360Flex on Mobile development techniques. We’ve developed a slick game for mobile devices and will be discussing every part of it’s creation, from initial idea to release. This presentation will be very important to you and any group you are working with that may be planning to go mobile soon. This will also allow you time to ask us questions as you prepare for your new project. Antonio will be focusing on the design aspect of new mobile development and I will be focusing on the developer side of mobile development.

I am highly anticipating March and April!

At the point of writing this I’m actually really happy with where Queue Manager has gone.
- Queue Manager has almost 50k users
- Queue Manager is listed highly in the Android Market
- Queue Manager is listed as the top Air for Android app on AppBrain
- Queue Manager is listed highly in AppAware
- Queue Manager is awaiting acceptance into the BlackBerry App World
- Android Central listed Queue Manager as a top pick in October and it was stated “it [Queue Manager] has proven to me the viability of Adobe Air as a development platform for Android”
