I am very happy to finally announce the release of GUIMark 2. After a couple weeks of building and testing, I feel I’ve finally created the best visual benchmarks I could come up with for comparing both Flash and HTML5. The results reveal a lot of interesting technical differences between the two environments. You can read the full details and results on the GUIMark 2 project page.

Come see my talk about memory management at Max 2009 »
It seems my obsession with the Flash and AIR internals keeps earning me a spot as a Max speaker. Following up on last years talk on general VM performance, I’ll be back this year to talk specifically about memory management and optimizations. While I covered memory a bit in last years talk, this year I’ll be going more indepth on memory techniques as well as how to profile your apps. As with all my sessions, you can be sure there’ll be plenty of code handed out by the end.
My session will be running on Tuesday at 1:30 PM and again on Wednesday at 5:00 PM, hope to see you all there.
Max 2008 session material »
As promised, here’s the pdf of my recent Max 2008 session “Optimizing Adobe AIR for Code Execution, Memory, and Rendering“. There’s a good amount of Flash VM tips and tricks in there for reference whether you’re working in the browser or AIR. Thanks to everyone who attended and gave me high marks for my session. I guess I have to start thinking about what to talk about next year. For anyone who didn’t get to see the session live, the pdf really only tells half the story, so you may want to check out the session when it shows up on http://tv.adobe.com soon.
