COMDDAP Davao Expo 2009

Where the highest mountain in the land rises over the vast rich plains of Davao, where the king of Philippine birds soar over his domain, the giant of all Philippine I.T. shows once more unfolds its latest event. It's COMDDAP Davao 2009 - the biggest I.T. expo held regularly in the South.

The event will showcase tech updates, tech dealers, business exhibits and our most awaited Adobe Seminar series. As what our instructor/class adviser[Sir Ryan David Pillerin] told us [BSIT Major in Multimedia], the Adobe Company rarely conduct/offers such workshops in the Philippines, most unlikely here in Davao. The said seminars consists of four sessions:

Dreamweaver CS4
Contribute CS4
Flash CS4
Fireworks CS4
The registration fee per session is Php480. Sir P told us that we will be joining only the last two workshops since it is more complicated to study at and ofcourse, considering the financial matters.

***FIREWORKS
Fireworks CS4 is a hybrid imaging and rapid-prototyping application with an enhanced toolset and a greater
variety of options. The Fireworks CS4 Seminar demonstrates how to navigate and customize the workspace in this design and production hub, as well as provides a primer on the array of graphics that can be created and combined in Fireworks, including bitmap and vector art, layered Photoshop and Illustrator files, and files in the native Fireworks format, enhanced PNG.
It demonstrates creative uses of text, animation and effects. It discusses how to generate optimized web graphics as well as entire interactive prototypes based on CSS, HTML, PDF, and AIR. This seminar is intended for those who are new to Fireworks or who are seeking insights into the techniques made possible by the latest version.
***FLASH
Flash is a powerful multimedia creation tool that can be used to build simple animations, full-featured applications and everything in between. The Flash CS4 Seminar offers new Flash users a thorough explanation of the interface, tools, and techniques at the heart of any project. It will show participants how to use the latest iteration of the Flash drawing tools and timeline, work with text and symbols, and create tweens and other simple animations. It also explores multimedia elements like bitmap graphics, sound and video. He shows how to use ActionScript 3.0 to add interactivity to Flash projects, discusses integration with other Adobe applications, and more.

The course outline/description for the Adobe Seminar Series is to be conducted by Boyett Pinlac, President, Dreams and Visions Interactive Inc. (DVI)- and Adobe Gold Partner. The expo will run from July 2-4, 2009 at the Cattleya Function Room, Apo View Hotel, Davao City.

Gasol: second idol!

Wearing jersey #16, Pau Gasol became the first Spaniard to win a championship title in the recent NBA 2oo9 Finals joining the hit Los Angeles Lakers team. Phil got him from the Memphis Grizzlies trading his younger brother Marc. They had a wonderful tandem or hook-up with my number one Kobe Bryant which was obvious especially in Game 2, where Gasol's lay-up shot did the overtime which made them win. I really like this guy's intensity during games. I mean, he may not rule every game or score powerful shots but he definitely have his heart on the team. This 7ft power forward/center is really a key addition to the Lakers.
