Adobe Developer Seminar - Melbourne
I went to the Adobe Developer Seminar this morning to hear from Adobe on the two markets that they are chasing - designers and developers. The presentation covered Flash/Flash Light, the spry framework, flex and a touch on Apollo. Presented were a few examples of each of the technologies and a few different applications demonstrated being developed in both Spry and Flex frameworks.
The Seminar still seemed slightly sales oriented and lacked the real depth that I was hoping for, but as a discussion on emerging technologies and reviewing technologies it is always great. Seeing some flex app’s in demo as well as some of the server side stuff, like the Media Server were a good brief review, and we will be getting into some flex applications shortly.
They also were still hoping to push cold-fusion, but all they showed was a wizard that generated a flex app with a database managed by coldfusion, which they were pushing cold-fusion as quick because of this - but I have seen complete JEE apps build out with an ANT script at exactly the same speed 
This reminds me of the MM guy that came to Swinny Cam. More of a “here’s what we can do” than a “how it works”. Adobe would get a better response if they talked more about current and new technology and how easily their applications work with these technologies…
