Robert Burdick has posted my presentation from the Boston Forum Nokia Flash Lite Technology Day that occurred this month.

My session was on Programming Advanced Nokia Features with Flash Lite, where I essentially focused on talking about using 3rd party products (like Kuneri Lite) to extend Flash on Series 60 devices.

I also talked briefly about the upcoming S60 Platform Services (coming soon to S60 5th Edition Nokia devices) that will allow developers to tap into native device API across numerous development platforms, including Flash (via ActionScript and associated class library and API).

Going forward with S60 Platform Services, Nokia will be making it easier to tap things like Application manager, Calendar records, Contacts records, Log information, SMS and MMS messaging, The media gallery, Device location, Landmarks, System information, Sensors and other really cool goodies we'd like to access from our mobile applications, and other content.

A community effort called mobildevjobs.org (which is essentially a niche job posting site by mobile professionals, for mobile professionals) has been launched.

As the user base expands, expect the site to evolve ... but for now you can post and respond to jobs freely.

Right now there is a Symbian category and also Flash Mobile (e.g. Flash Lite) and Java, and others. I'd expect these areas to expand as time goes on.

Companies and developers can post for FREE. Conversely, other developers/companies can respond to those postings for FREE (unless you want premium services, like feature job postings, etc).

As soon as user base is established, the site will be accepting ads (contact them if you are interested).

Please spread the word of www.mobiledevjobs.org to the broader mobile community. Thanks!

Hello "Forum Nokia" World! This is my obligatory 1st post! 

As a fairly recent addition to the Forum Champions; I've also just now been recently added to the blog-o-sphere here on Forum Nokia Developer Community Blogs ... (Many thanks to Anne for expediting this process!)

For those who may be wondering within the Nokia Forum community; I am Scott Janousek; one of those "brave souls" doing really cool Flash and Flash Lite on embedded and mobile devices. I've been doing it for quite a while, actually ... essentially, since Flash Lite 1.1 hit the "Western world" (circa 2005) (BTW: I am based just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, USA).

If you're interested to know about me: google me ... or point yourself to this (somewhat out of date) bio over at linkedin.com, get more info off my mobile site: scottjanousek.mobi, visit my personal blog, or this corporate bio (blah).

In terms of professional info; I started Hooken Mobile in late 2006 (I act as CEO/Technical Director). Currently, we specialize in Flash Lite design and development across many platforms and devices, including S40 and S60 (our favorite Flash Lite enabled (handset) platform, actually!). We have also branched into other areas of mobile design development service offerings this year (will talk more on this soon).

In terms of community ... in addition to being inducted to the Forum Champions program recently, I have created, maintain, and stay active in many Flash (and Mobile) related community efforts.

Some examples of this:

• Being an active Adobe Flash Lite 1.1/2.x/3.x Certified Training Instructor
• Adobe Community Expert - Mobile & Devices
• Member of the Adobe MaD Learning Resources Advisory Group
• Coauthor of the Foundation Flash Applications for Mobile Devices Book, Friends of Ed (Apress) - ISBN: 1590595580 
• Reviewer for Frame 27: Flash Mobile Game Reviews
• Admin for slideshare.net - Flash Lite Presentations
• Creator of the Flash Lite Community World Map
• Member of Boston Flash Mobile User Group
• Member of Mobile Monday Boston ... I attend; often! :) 
• Maintainer of my personal Flash and Mobile community blog (going on 4+ years)
• Speak often on Flash Mobile (at conferences, user groups, and other community events)
• and a lot more which escapes me right now ...

My intentions on this blog are to talk very specifically about all things relevant to what I am doing with Nokia platform technology; especially Flash Lite on S40 and S60 devices. For all other Flash Lite posts, please see my other personal blog.

Also, for those wondering ... my latest Nokia devices are: the N95 (Non-NAM), E90, and N810; my favorite being the N95 for the crux of Flash Lite development on S60!

OK ... So, now that I covered a lot of basics ... enough about me!

It's nice to be here! My next post will be something technical ... until then, c'ya.

P.S. 

To those I met at the Nokia Developer Camp event (Las Vegas) a few weeks back; greetings all!
