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&emdash;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
Peter is a certified Flash MX 2004 developer, Team Macromedia volunteer for Flash and runs his own business named MindStudio, which mainly does multimedia development and consultancy.
Introduced to Macromedia Flash in late 1996, he started of doing interactive advertisement campaigns for one of Europe's largest online advertisement agencies. When Macromedia released its Generator software his interest moved more towards the backend side of things, fascinated by Flash and database integration &emdash; what many considered some very innovative technology at that time.
After attending the FlashForward 2001 conference in Amsterdam, Peter was so inspired that he decided to make the switch from HTML to full-fledged multimedia development, a decision he hasn't regretted since.
