Podcast appearances and mentions of rich internet application

I'm sitting in a restaurant with a revolutionary idea scribbled on the back of a napkin. It's the early 2000s and I'm still in the technology industry at this point, so we're coming up with ideas for this crazy software application we want to create. It's never been done before and feels like it could change everything! We're talking about a ColdFusion back end, a Flash front end, throwing data back and forth very quickly... it'd be the first time you could have a Rich Internet Application. {Fancy stuff back then.} As we're sitting there brainstorming my new friend Mark says, “Hang on, can we really do this? No one's actually executed something like this.” Two seconds later, we find ourselves thinking, “Why not us? Why don't we be the ones to do it?” That software idea we brought to life launched a company that lasted for 16 years! And my special guest on the Storytelling School Podcast, Douglas Lyons, is all about bringing ideas that no one else has thought of to life in different forms. What is the thought process behind birthing an idea that didn't exist before? What is the only original thing about ideas? And what the hell do mosquito bites have to do with storytelling? In this episode, I speak with Douglas about all of that, being successful without the usual “bells and whistles” of training, normalizing and giving representation to Black culture on Broadway, and more. You'll hear his words of wisdom if you feel like your voice and perspective don't matter. And you'll discover how to know which stories to stick with and the power of figuring out your “why” for creating a story. What you will learn in this episode: What principles to keep in mind as you create a story Why naming your characters is so important How your stories can heal, affect change, and live on long after you're gone Who is Douglas?

Rich Internet Application (RIA) frameworks are seeing an enormous growth in popularity - technologies like Ajax and Flash create nearly unlimited opportunities to expand and improve the web user experience. They also bring with them a host of new security risks. The popularity of these frameworks among application developers insures that we'll see more attacks and issues in the months and years ahead. Join Black Hat Founder and Director Jeff Moss and his guests Billy Hoffman of HP and Alex Stamos of iSec for a lively discussion of new issues and security implications in the world of Rich Internet Applications.

Crash Course in Adobe AIR There comes a time when web developers need to reach beyond the browser to allow users to go offline, use local files or get rid of the hideous browser chrome. The Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) is an up an coming runtime technology that allows desktop applications to be developed with HTML, JavaScript, Flash or Flex. The AIR runtime and SDK are completely free so anyone can get started immediately. Andre Charland will will give an overview or AIR, the APIs you get access to and how to build a simple Flex and HTML application with it. From there we will explore some of the tools available to make AIR development easier and faster. We’ll finish up with a few important usability guidelines and real world case studies of AIR projects. A real world overview of Silverlight Seattle-based Jackson Fish Market helped deliver the Silverlight based search engine Tafiti, one of the earliest commercial Silverlight applications. In this presentation, Jackson Fish Market co-founder Walter Smith will give us a detailed overview of Microsoft’s RIA technology Silverlight. We’ll learn from Walter’s first hand experience the strengths and weaknesses of the platform, and see real world examples of what Silverlight can be used to achieve. If you are looking to evaluate RIA frameworks, or just get a sense of the emerging RIA landscape, this session will prove invaluable.
