switch(case)

I recently did a presentation for at DePaul University here in Chicago, for Upsilon Pi Epsilon, International Honor Society for the Computing and Information Disciplines. The talk focuses more on my view of Creativity as applied to Rich Internet Applications, and how I apply an Agile methodology in order to iterate quickly, and get a working product out of the door.

These are my “slides”… Well I Love Flash, and Hate PowerPoint. Google Docs is okay, but if I’m going to present I’m going to use the tools I use everyday, which in turn makes for a pretty cool presentation. I used OpenZoom for the presentation, its kind of a nice format if you have ALOT of ideas… but don’t feel like shrinking them into puny little slides.

OpenZoom Presentation

Work in progress

UPDATE: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF CRASHING YOUR BROWSER

Here is basic proof of concept inserting OpenZoom interfaces within openzoom interfaces to make a basic image gallery. Further tweak of the controls will prove a very nice browsing experience. Also pairing with Flash Player 10′s capabilities for 3D and we make something quite impressive, and very lightweight (this swf being 76k).

I realized the mixture of OpenZoom with AS3′s 3D capabilities offers a pseudo-3D engine. That doesn’t mean OpenZoom won’t play well with a fully loaded 3D engine….
