Have a question for Danny?

 

Interview

Where are you from?
Alsheim, Germany. That's a little town, near Frankfurt.

Where did you grow up?
Some time in Spain, but most of the time in Germany.

What are your pastimes and interests?
Skateboarding, Art, Games.

Life, as it provides great adventures every day.

What's your favorite saying or cliché?
People judging others, while only considering their outward appearance. Like you need to wear a suit to be taken serious. I can't stand that.

What's your favorite movie?
Tom's Keller an independent movie.

What's your favorite cocktail?
Since I come from Germany I would say beer mix with beer and a little of beer. (don't like cocktails that much, sorry;)

When did you first get involved with flash?
At the beginning of 1999 I guess.

What is your view of the current use of flash?
More and more developers seem to understand that Flash should be used when I makes sense, not because it's cool or just because it's Flash.

Who do you feel is advancing the use of flash the most?
Our great community, too many people to name any specific.

Who has been your greatest inspiration?
My parents and friends.
Take a look at one of the New Masters books to see some guys that inspired me in Flash.

Where do you see the future of flash?
Flash isn't only the program itself. The technology will spread over many applications and devices (like we see it at the moment with Swift, Swish, Pocket PC, Playstation, Broadband…)

What advice would you give to budding flashers?
Don't limit your view to Flash.

What can FK Singapore 2001 attendees expect from you?
Hopefully a great experience, that will improve their skills and be a lot of fun.

Any closing words?
It's just the beginning ;)
