Flex 3 and AIR are getting close to launch and in preparation, Ben Forta from the Adobe Flex/AIR product team is traveling to select cities to show off the great new features and help prepare us for this exciting launch.
Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.
Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, extending rich applications to the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write desktop applications using the same skills that you've been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to see and hear about this highly anticipated release of Flex 3 and AIR during this special pre-release tour. Plus, in addition to giving away some one of a kind Flex/AIR branded schwag, we will also be raffling off a copy of Flex Builder 3 Professional (pending availability) and a full commercial copy of CS3 Web Premium at this event!

After ten years of virtual hibernation, java developers have turned their attention to improving the user experience. With this change, we can expect the quality of web-user interfaces to improve at a very fast pace. In "Hybridizing Java," an entry on recognized industry leader Bruce Eckel's blog, Bruce writes, "While amazing things have been accomplished within the confines of JavaScript with technologies like Ajax, JSON, GWT etc., these are nonetheless confines. We bump up against their limits every day, and those limits are not going away.... I believe that to solve the user interface problem, we need the equivalent of a domain-specific language dedicated to the user experience. For me, Flash-based technologies like Flex are the best solution to this problem." Adobe® Flex™ 2 offers a series of unique features that can help improve the user experience. These features include vector graphic support, video and audio streaming, publish and subscribe messaging, and a JIT compiler for improved performance. Attend a 60-minute eSeminar in which you will learn why Bruce and so many other Java developers are excited about Flex. If you'd rather check Flex out on your own, download a 30-minute test drive that will give you an understanding of how Flex works and what it can do. |
