Druplash and Druplex: Content-Managed Flash and Flex sites powered by Drupal
Lecture-style (what can we say, we’re Uni professors) about building Drupal-powered Flash and Flex websites that support deep-linking, good SEO, and use progressive enhancement techniques so that full HTML content can be available for those who don’t have Flash enabled using the SWFAddress module. Beyond just all-Flash websites we will also cover ways to integrate Flash/Flex in standards-compliant ways to enhance a website while still being maintainable by Drupal.

- Overview of Flash and Flex
- Open Source Flash/Flex Development
- Historical Problems of 100% Flash experience sites
- Current methods that defeat those problems
- Browser History (back and forward buttons) support
- Full HTML alternate content

- AMFPHP
- Services.module
- Writing Custom Services
- SWFAddress.module (newly released)
