Adobe (certainly UK) does do campus days and there is considerable interest in Flex.. They also do on site lectures .. I'm doing a 3 hr session on Flex at Stafford next week for them - www.adobe.co.uk/campusdays generally students are pretty keen : unfortunately they have also not any idea that Flex even exists until we get there Matt

There is lot of scope for Adobe Technologies in Universities towards higher education worldwide. This idea can further their technologies for their(Universities) course offerings to the great extent. I wish, it comes true. krishna Raj On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 1:24 PM, Rick Winscot <rick.winscot@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> zyche.com> wrote: At this pace we won't (generally) see RIA technologies in course offerings for 4 - 5 years at least. It would be awesome to see higher education quicken their pace and open the door to innovators like Adobe - but the fact is. that in its current state, higher education, is ill suited to embrace them. To be frank. I don't blame Adobe for not wanting to participate in the higher education debacle.

Come to universities! Yesterday, Microsoft was in my department to present silverlight&ajax technologies. Although silverlight is currently a bullshit compared to flex, and in my department (METU computer engineering) many people use linux; there were quite many people attending to the seminar. Tomorrow, I'll do give a seminar about AIR technology,which will be hosted by METU Computer Club. who am I? Just a 3rd year computer engineering(~=science) student. So i ask to adobe; microsoft comes to our lessons for their primitive technology, but adobe does nothing for flex the great? why? you do europe tour, it's great but you better do some more local event (no need to bring your developers, just use your local partners). just a suggestion to adobe guys, maybe because of feeling bad with microsoft's integration efforts... info : METU = middle east technical university / ankara/ turkey -- Thanks and Regards, Krishna Read my blogs http://flashactions <http://flashactions.wordpress.com> .wordpress.com http://stockthought <http://stockthoughts.wordpress.com> s.wordpress.com Gtalk:krshnaraj YahooIM:krishna.rajs Live Messenger: krishna.rajs Skype: krishna.rajs Linkedin: http://www.linkedin <http://www.linkedin.com/in/krishnarajs> .com/in/krishnarajs Cellular Contact: 0091.998.5013.316 Cellular Contact: 0091.924.8763.069 Twitter:stockthoughts
