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.
