As the 2008 Flash in the Can (FitC) Festival draws near, we've put together an evening you don't want to miss! Mark it down.
Flash superstar Grant Skinner has agreed to present his 2008 FitC session that he will be sharing in Toronto. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to enjoy a world-class session, free of charge, amidst five dollar appies and happy-hour drink prices. As always, we'll be swaggin' it up, and yes — even giving away a full commercial version on Adobe Creative Suite 3!
If you are able to make it out to Toronto, FitC has generated a discount code for all efug members to receive 10% off! Your discount code is: EFUG331
Here is the skinny on Grant's sess:

My Favourite Things
When the client bites,
When the run-time error stings,
When Flash makes me mad,
I simply revisit my favourite things,
And then I don't feel, so bad.
A fun trip through some of the code, concepts, and approaches that have particularly intrigued or interested Grant while doing visual experimentation in ActionScript. This session has a particular focus on visualizing important concepts in coding, and using unexpected approaches to tackle tough problems in interesting ways. No "girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes", but there will be virtual "snow-flakes that stay on my nose and eye-lashes".
