onAIR Bus Tour - Philly

Posted On August 23, 2007 7:40 AM By Phil in onairbustour,onair2007Philadelphia,AIR

The onAIR Bust Tour's stop in Philly was awesome. The Franklin Institute was a great venue. The meet 'n greet was in the Planetarium and the shows were in the science theater. As a nice bonus, Adobe had surge protectors everywhere so I could plug in may laptop after my 45 minute battery was drained. The sessions were jam packed and everything was top notch from the food to the games to the drinks to the presentations to the great giveaways. A big thank you to Rob Hall, the esteemed leader of the Philly Flash Platform Adobe User Group for pushing for the stop here in Philly and doing a great job organizing the turnout by pushing people to be there. I came away very excited to start diving into AIR applications. As Steve Ritter said over on the Philly CFUG site, the stop could have been a full day. Makes me want to maybe hit up New York for their full-day. Overall, a great show with lots of information passed out that has definitely stoked my interest in AIR.

AIR HTML-based App

Posted On August 22, 2007 7:25 PM By Phil in HTML,onairbustour,onair2007Philadelphia,AIR

Ok, the Flex one was pretty easy, but using Dreamweaver's extension for making a site an Adobe AIR Application made things way too easy. It literally took me two-clicks to convert my site to an AIR app. Not sure about the whole site usage, but I'm guessing that's about the only way to get Dreamweaver to recognize what it needs to package. I'm starting to get all excited about AIR. I think I have an idea for an app that will help me learn all the new features of ColdFusion 8, Flex, AJAX, and then, finally, AIR.

Thanks to Mike Chambers' presentation, I am following along as he is doing the presentation at the Philly stop. I know it isn't much, but hey, it's the first time I've delved into this. Now on to the HTML/JavaScript one.
