After the speaking, I went back to Bangkok which is cold from heavy rainy in Mid-July.
Finally, before I went to my bed, I decided to write some ideas that I got from my speaking session about “Adobe Flash Platform: Multi-screen in one solution” at Pibulsongkram Rajaphat University, Pisanulok, Thailand. I think these idea will inspire and useful for someone who is finding an “ignite” to start develop mobile application.
First of all, I have to THANK YOU…
I have to thank you Ms. Bee who invited me to host this session and Mr. Jack who help me setup all devices and internet that make our session go smoothly.
I have to thank you for the others who give me a chance to speak for students of Computer Technology to reach the power of Adobe Flash Platform, in the field of Mobile application development.
1. Flash technology is not just an animation tool (not anymore)
In the first era of internet, Flash technology shined itself as the tool that deliver “animation” to the web.
So it is correct, if you said “Flash can create beautiful ads banner, cool animation, and fantastic Flash website”.
I have to tell you to break this understanding, and add more the capability!
Let me tell you some fact, which is happening around the world…
We have Facebook Game, which is created by Flash technology (FarmVille is good example, finally Empire & Allies too, made from Flash)
We have Augmented Reality Advestisment (AR), created by Flash technology.
We have many enterprise desktop application, which is available for both Windows and OS X (built on Adobe AIR technology)
… and most important, we have a thousand of developers and designers who is creating their mobile application for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry Playbook with Flash technology!
I still didn’t count the next generation of Flash technology. Someone call it as “Flash Player 11″. It is the most powerful Flash Player which can render 3D object very, I mean very smoothly. (Flash Player 10.3, released in 2nd semester of 2011, use only 1-2% CPU consumption)
Flash technology is not only for web browser anymore, it becomes the delivery channel that you can publish your content to your user which many technology you can imagine for.
So just throw your thinking, “Flash is only for web”, and welcome the new opportunity from Adobe Flash Platform, Now.
Actionscript 3 is your key
I repeated this word again, and again, and again in this session.
Actionscript 2 is obsoleting. Everything sweet that Adobe Flash Platform is bringing to you, powered by Actionscript 3 inside.
What I have to focus here, has inspired by Mr. Kajorn Bhirakit, Thailand Adobe Community Professional, who invited me to join Thai Adobe User Group as Adobe Flex Evangelist, about the idea of “team working”.
“The alone warrior has gone, now it is the era of warrior banding”
He gave me the idea, there is no one designer who can code some Actionscript 2 anymore, but the designer have to join with developer who has skillful at Actionscript 3 to extend capability of creation.
“1+ is better”
The new treasure is Mobile Device
In a part of speaking session, I repeat a word to student, “Mobile application is your future, focus, please focus it”.
You may asked, “Why should I care about Mobile Application?”
As I speak to student, if you concentrate on Web Application or Desktop Application, which is an old market (and you have many giant company as your enemy await), high risk, and you have to think about how could you sell your application.
But not for Mobile application
What you have to concentrate is, how to make your application useful, or make your game fun.
For marketing and sale, just leave if for the giant application company, Apple and Google, who are already own a million of your customer via their device.
Let’s take a look on your customer’s number:
In March 2011, iOS device user is 160+ millions and still grow up like a rocket fly into the sky. Android, reported their device has been activated 500,000 times approximately per day.
75-90% is ready to buy application.
92% loves to play mobile games.
So why should not you interest in these treasure?
