Presenter's Corner

We recently sat down with Dale Rankine, Presenter for Total Training for Adobe Flash Lite 2.1: Creating Mobile Applications. Here's some of what we learned about Dale. Dale's Bio

Q:

What is the favorite project on which you ever worked?
A: Probably the first Flash Lite game I built - "Whack Attack". I was building it for myself and had no deadline. Then later I got to sell it to Nokia, so it was an all around perfect project!

Q:

What is your most creative time?
A: My creative times can strike at any moment. I carry a large notebook with me so I can write/sketch/plan whenever the ideas come. Sometimes I'll find myself up very late at night designing something, and other times it could be in the middle of the day.

Q:

When you're not plugged into work, what are you doing?
A: Making music and playing drums in my wife's band. Spending time with my three daughters. I also collect comics and super-hero toys.


Q:

What are your three favorite features for this product?
A: 1. Using XML Sockets for real-time data connectivity
2. Showing Flash developers how easy it is to get into mobile content
3. Dispelling the myths of the mobile content industry


Q:

How did you get started in the industry?
A: I'm completely self-taught. I was a full-time drummer when I discovered Flash in 1996 and started to teach myself web design using Notepad and Corel Draw. After my life in rock 'n' roll I thought I'd give web design a go.
