Last Tuestday I presented at the pre-conference Unity for Flash developers day, at invitation of Unity. It was a very interesting day for every Flash developer who wants to get into Unity (which by the way is  very easy to get started with, as Unity Indy has been made a free product!). Other speakers that day were Mauricio Longoni, John Grden and Tom Higgins.

I think the day provided the visitors with a lot of essential information in order to get started with Unity. The feedback I received on my talk was very good, so hopefully I contributed to new Unity users getting started with Unity.

As promised in my presentation, I've posted my presentation online, which you'll find at the end of this post. In the next weeks when I've returned and recoverd from this conference, I'll start posting some of the examples as mentioned in my presentation. So you can expect the JSON, Google Analytics, XML loading and Parsing, image loading and posting variables examples on this page.

I already twittered this while being on vacation, however I thought it would be nice to give this some extra attention, since I think the conference is going to rock. After investing a lot of time since last years Unite conference in Copenhagen, it would be very interesting to see where other developers have been into and join the very promising sessions that are scheduled (http://unity3d.com/unite/agenda).

If you don't have a ticket yet, you should really rush, as the conference already starts in a little more than 2 weeks on the 27th of October.

In my point of view, Unity made a very wise decision this year by organizing a special day for Flash developers. This day will give the conference a kick-start for Flash developers who want to get into Unity, as they will be introduced to everything they need to know to get along with the rest of the conference (and start themselves with some Unity development afterwards). I would have been so grateful when such conference day was available at the time I got into Unity.

I feel very honored that 'm invited by the people of Unity to come over and do a session for Flash developers. My talk will be about using best of both worlds and how to interact between the two. Unity for 3D content and Flash elements for 2D content. I have some very interesting cases in mind, which I'll work out in the next two weeks and present at my session.

John Grden from the Papervision3D team will host another session, as well as Mauricio Longoni who created u3dobject.

So to conclude this and be honest; if this is within your field of interest you just need to be there! So get your tickets today and see you in San Fransisco!
