Biography

Sidney de Koning (26) is a full time multimedialist. When he was 8 he got hooked on BASIC on his grandfather's Amiga 500. 18 years later he still gets excited developing applications and websites. His passion is to play with new technologies like Adobe's AIR and to teach AS2 and AS3 courses at the International acclaimed SAE Institute in Amsterdam.

After setting up the online department at the Dutch MTV in 2005, he worked and freelanced for smaller companies until 2007. In mid 2007 he joined forces with Code d'Azur (www.codedazur.nl), an Amsterdam based Flash/AIR agency. Here he develops interactive eyecandy and specializes in AIR. When he's not working or teaching he likes to keep sane by meditating, reading, writing and running. He also maintains a weblog about AIR and Flash development at http://www.funky-monkey.nl/blog/.
