Speaking at RIAcon in Washington DC in August

I'm giving a preview version of my Adobe MAX talk at RIAcon (6th and 7th August) in just over a week.

Realtime programming with Arduino and WebSockets

Arduino is a low cost, easy to program open source hardware and software platform than enables you to communication in real time with the physical world. This session looks at how to interact with Arduino hardware directly from a web browser using the WebSocket protocol and the Socket.IO javascript library. We'll start out by tuning LEDs on and off and progress to creating graphs that react in real time to environmental sensors.

RIACon

Tickets to RIACon are only $99 for two days and the conference is limited to 150 attendees. Here is the list of sessions.

Come along and meet with some of the best people in the ColdFusion, Flex, JavaScript and jQuery communities.

Speaking at Adobe MAX in Los Angeles in October

Bring your own device

I'll be running a 3 hour BYOD (Bring your own device) session at Adobe MAX in Los Angeles in October.

Adobe MAX

I missed out on Adobe MAX last year (and Droid and Google TV device giveaways). It's a long way to go from Australia and you can only go to so many conferences in one year. :-) I'm really excited to going this year, there's a huge amount of content (currently 137 sessions and I'm sure more will be added!).

Here's the brief on my session:

Real-time Programming with Arduino using WebSockets

Learn how you can communicate in real time with the physical world using Arduino, a low-cost, easy-to-program open source hardware and software platform. This session looks at how to interact with Arduino hardware directly from a web browser using the WebSockets protocol and the Socket.IO JavaScript library. We'll start out by turning LEDs on and off and progress to creating graphs that react in real time to environmental sensors.
