Project called "Rome" which completely blew my mind

The MAX Awards show (hosted by Mark Hamil) didn’t quite go as well as we had hoped. Morgan Stanley Matrix, hampered by secrecy and relegated to showcasing just a few screens, lost to an inferior enterprise app. However, the Sneak Peeks afterwards presented a few incredible “might-haves” in the future: Flash objects with physics attributes, cut & paste vector graphics linked to data in Dreamweaver, a spot-healing tool that can intelligently edit HUGE sections of an image (a crowd favorite), and ROME – an intuitive working environment that allows users to add, edit and manipulate any form of media without having to switch applications!

The TESLA Roadster

Here’s a cool project: incorporating a touchscreen center panel into the new TESLA S model. As can be expected, having visual eye candy on your dashboard detracting from your ability to drive safely is a HUGE concern…

Adobe MAX 2009 in L.A. started off with a keynote about the coming of Flash Player 10.1. According to the speakers, it’s going to work on mobile devices (even though it wasn’t during the keynote)…

If you’re unfortunately enough (like myself) not to be at MAX 2009, you can watch Monday’s keynote online. Flash Player 10.1 is very cool – it should give Microsoft something to think about

Presenting at Adobe MAX 2009

I have finally received the confirmation for the Adobe MAX 2009 presentation, which I will be co-presenting together with a former colleague , Tom Sugden, from Adobe Professional Services

For almost a year now, I have been responsible for the architecture and delivery of Flex on Morgan Stanley Matrix, their new Single Dealer Trading Platform.

So, what are we presenting?

Presentation is called “Building Matrix – Scaling Flex for a large trading application”. We will give some insight in what it takes to architect and scale a large Flex application. With a team of more than 30 Flex developers we have been introduced to technical issues we never before had considered even existed. Some of the areas where we have spent a lot of effort has been performance, scalability, developer productivity and modularization, and we will shed some light in what we have done, and what we have achieved.
