About the Author
Marco is one of the most dynamic developers and consultants in the Adobe world.
He has been passionate about informatics since he was little more than a child
and used to program games in Basic for Commodore 64 before dedicating himself,
while still very young, to innovative projects for the web using Flash and Director
(as far back as versions 3 and 5.)
In 2001, he began to collaborate with Macromedia Italia. Since that year he
has produced and headed a long series of presentations, conferences and articles,
which you can find listed in detail in his blog entitled "hands on Adobe
world" (casario.blogs.com,) which is currently receiving several thousands
of unique visitors every day.
In 2005, Marco founded Comtaste (www.comtaste.com,) a company dedicated to
exploring new frontiers in Rich Internet Applications and the convergence between
the web and the world of mobile devices—MobyMobile (www.mobymobile.com)
and YouThru (www.youthru.com) are representative of their recent work.
Another example of Marco's achievements is that he is founder of the biggest
worldwide Flash Lite User Group (groups.yahoo.com/group/FlashLite/) and of www.augitaly.com,
a reference point for the Italian community of Adobe users, in which he carries
out the role of Channel Manager for the section dedicated to Flex (www.augitaly.com/flexgala.)
Marco is currently busy working on the development (in Flex) of a very ambitious
project concerning bank counters at European level, and in various consulting
and Flex and Flash Media Server training activities for the realisation of Rich
Internet Applications on behalf of buyers of the calibre of Capgemini, Engineering,
IBM partners, and Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd
