Noteflight wins FITC 2009 “Technical Excellence” award

Last night Noteflight won the “Technical Excellence in Flash” award at Flash In The Can (FITC) 2009 conference. I have to say, this is kind of cool! (I’m not sure what to call this award — does it have a name? Is it a “Flashy”? A “Canny”? A “Fitzi”?)

Overall, I am really enjoying this conference purely as a conference. It’s a much broader mix of creative and technical people than I usually see at software-related shows, the organization is great, and the quality of the presentations has been overall very high. A lot of the best Flash coders in the business are here, as are some folks from the Adobe Flash Player team. It’s a great bunch of folks to hang out with and talk to. As one highlight, it was nice to meet Robert Penner, a well-known name in tweening-weenie circles and one of the few other people who has worked on music notation in Flash (he did a lot of work on the mediaRAIN music viewer).

Toronto is a pretty hip and fun city too, as I am finding out. Maybe more on that later — although I didn’t bring my camera, stupidly.
