LiveCycle Sessions at MAX Update

There are a lot of changes and a few surprises for this year's Adobe MAX in Los Angeles. The biggest and coolest of which is that the LiveCycle ES pre-conference session has SOLD OUT faster than Russell Brown's Photoshop session! Not to diss Russell (he is a very talented individual) but this really shows that LiveCycle ES is getting serious marketplace interest.

This blog post is intended to be an update to reflect some of the latest news. For starters, I want to highlight a sleeper session that I think will be really cool:

Harnessing the Value of User-Centric Applications

See how Deutsche Telekom is using Flex + Adobe LiveCycle in combination with its enterprise systems to streamline and improve HR communications with over 100,000 employees and retirees. Learn about Adobe’s vision for user-centric computing and see an in-depth demonstration that illustrates how the Flash Platform + LiveCycle ES2 together improve customer experience and employee productivity.

Why is this cool? Nothing tells a story like a customer use case. An independent third party who can share their triumphs with LiveCycle ES. I'm going if I do not have conflicts.

The LiveCycle numbers continue to grow, and we now have more sold out sessions. Yes, a VERY NICE surprise for us after 3 years of constant promotion.

LC Pre-conf training:

SOLD OUT

But in the famous words of Douglas Adams, "Don't Panic"! There are still plenty of sessions left. Just don't leave it too long if you don't want to have to wait until next year to find out why LC ES skilled developers are in super high demand. Register today!

Duane's World Season Two Opener!

The first episode of Duane's World Season II is out. This special two-part episode covers Adobe MAX in Milan, Italy, and San Francisco (will be featured in part 2) plus interviews with RedMonk founder James Governor. Code and Tunes features a tutorial on how to use BlazeDS to build a 3-tier architecture and invoke services using AMF from a Flex front end.



The interview with James is very cool as he is very modest about RedMonk's accomplishments. RedMonk has been voted a major force in the IT industry and has re-written a lot of the rules of how the analyst industry works in IT.

Lee Brimelow Adobe MAX promotion

Like Lee says - "It's about the beer!" I think I talked to that PR guy once. LOL!!!
