Carlo Alducente
Front-end Developer
I'm located in Toronto, currently working as Development Lead at BabyRobot.
I have been a Flash Developer for the majority of my career, with HTML/CSS & Javascript as secondary weapons of choice.
I have previously worked at Mindblossom, PUSH Interactive, Capital C, and Zinc Roe Design, creating microsites, online tools, and casual games.
At Sheridan College, I completed both the Art Fundamentals(2005) program and Interactive Multimedia(2006) program.
On my spare time, I like to learn and teach myself photography and maintain my growing camera collection. And yes, I still use film and process them in my basement on occasion.

AS3 Webcam Experiments
Flash Motion & Edge Detection
A collection of experiments that uses flash to detect motion and edges through the user's webcam. This started as casual research to see if the technology could be used as an interface for games, but eventually lead to an AS3 library meant to be used as a starting point for further prototyping.

AS3 Web Service
A class package that enabled AS3 developers to communicate with web services with ease, similar to the web service class that Adobe had provided with AS2. It was originally created to fill a gap when using ASP.NET services, but many developers have modified it for their own needs.
