Howdy,
Air is now available for public download and tinkering... http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/ What is AIR? It's (A)dobe's "(I)ntegrated (R)untime" environment for deploying Rich Internet-connected Applications. It's also RIA reversed... Coincidence? :) AIR allows you to develop desktop applications that run cross-platform and can essentially leverage your ColdFusion back-end live or off-line... Yeah, it's pretty freakin' sweet. Also, Adobe is hosting a "developer derby" - a competition with prizes like a $100,000 travel voucher for the dream vacation of your own design, and 5 "Ultimate Development Environments": * A Mac Pro 8Core with 4 gigs ram, 1.5 TB (2x75) of storage. * (2) Dell 2707WFP 27" widescreen monitors. * (1) one Sony Playstation 3. * (1) $200 gift certificate to Amazon.com. * (1) Herman Miller Aeron chair. * (1) Bose Quiet Comfort 3 noise canceling headphones. * (1) copy of Adobe FlexT BuilderT version 3, Macintosh edition. * (1) copy of Adobe Creative SuiteR 3 Master Collection for Macintosh. * And one squishy stress ball. http://labs.adobe.com/showcase/special/airderby/ If you enter and win, send me a postcard. :) Take Care, Seth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
