Love is in the AIR
John Paul Young felt the love in the AIR in 70s and now 30 years later we can all feel the love in the air once again. That is Adobe AIR. Peerglobe Technology joined with RMDStudio is throwing a Vancouver AIR/Flex Workshop to show you how cool AIR is ? The event is scheduled for Wednesday January 16th at the NetworkHub. So join us for this enchanted evening.
AIR is a new tool developed by Adobe that lets you create desktop application using existing web technologies. That means no more AWT or all that stuff. You just use your existing client side knowledge in Flex/Flash or just plain HTML and Javascript with your favorite choice of back-end (mine is ruby on rails) to create an application that runs on desktop, not within the browser. How cool is that ?
We will have two AIR/Flex speakers. First Atul Nagpal, a young AIR enthusiast and developer who will go through steps of creating an AIR app from scratch. He’ll be covering the interaction of AIR with server-side applications written in both PHP and Ruby On Rails. I will post the source code in the blog later. Don’t forget to bring a pen, pad and your laptop.
Next we will be hearing from Doug Schmidt from EffectiveUI. Doug already was a presenter at the AIR Camp, showcasing his famous DryerFox application. Doug will be going over his application and the development framework in AIR and more.
Also we are giving some snacks and coffee to make your stay more enjoyable. So sign up now.
