Preparing to the Flash Catalyst's era attending my session at Flash on The Beach 09

FOTB09 is about to sold out again. From the last newsletter received, John Davey wrote that tickets sales will end way before the conference starts. Because of the phenomenal speed of sales this year, we are looking at a 3rd year in a row being sold out way beofre the event! We have never seen tickets go so fast!

Since there's the real probabily that the conference will have sold out around 4th of Sept and most probably before then. 

Don't miss the opportunity to join this awesome event ! 

That said everything for my presentation is ready. I have a title and a description :

Preparing to the Flash Catalyst's era

Flash Catalyst will change the way designers and developers will work together to create Rich Interactive applications.

You'll learn key features of the latest version of Flash Catalyst as well as the technologies behind the tool such as the FXG format and the Flex SDK 4.

You'll discover how to work with products such as Photoshop and Illustrator to create the look and feel and the user experience of a RIA, while automatically generating the necessary code in the background.
