Four New OSMF Adobe Cookbook Recipes

Evenin' all:

I posted four new OSMF recipes on Adobe's cookbook site this afternoon, and thought you might care to see 'em:

Playing Multiple Pieces of Media, Consecutively, with the OSMF ParallelElement
Playing Multiple Pieces of Media, Concurrently, with the OSMF ParallelElement
Dynamic Streaming with OSMF
HTTP Streaming in OSMF

And, as a reminder along these lines, I'm teaching this year at MAX, as a MAX Master, on 'Designing Custom Video Players with OSMF' (you can browse the catalog of talks and presentations and then you can register here).

Share and enjoy!

MAX Master

Good evening, faithful readers:

I just received word this morning that Adobe has made me a MAX Master Speaker. This is the inaugural year for the MAX Masters program, and it means that I have had an average rating of at least 4.8/5 from at least 50 MAX attendees.

I consider this designation a real privilege. I take my speaking engagements very seriously, and it is nice to feel that effort rewarded in such a tangible way — especially in the context of a conference like MAX, which has so many high-level speakers.

I'm currently set to run a lab on building OSMF video players, but I believe that I will also be giving my Practical AS3 lecture, as well (the version of that same talk from last year's MAX is viewable here, on Adobe TV).

The MAX Session Scheduler has gone live. Check it out. And see you in November!
