Lots of Excitement for Adobe AIR in Europe

Monday, June 9th, 2008

We’ve wrapped things up on the first week of the on AIR Tour Europe and are spending today talking to developers in Prague. The first three stops were Stockholm, Berlin, and Warsaw. We had great crowds at all of them with a lot of good questions and some interesting demos of AIR. Mike Chambers has a recap up on the tour blog as does Serge Jespers. Lee has a rundown of each of the three cities here, here, and here.

We are looking forward to the second week. We’ve been trying to take more video and have all made decent progress towards our various code projects. I think a lot of use are also awaiting news of the Brightkite API. We’ve been doing a lot with Brightkite and have ben keeping track of all the places we go. We’ve got the event pages for Stockholm, Berlin, and Warsaw all on Brightkite.

Interview with Jeremy Baines from AlertThingy

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

During our on AIR London event I sat down with Jeremy Baines from Howard/Baines to talk about their AIR application for FriendFeed, AlertThingy. They had no AIR experience before they started and it’s a pure HTML/JavaScript application so he has some good insight on getting started with the platform.

Of course since that time we’ve seen Twhirl, another AIR application, be purchased by Seesmic and add support for FriendFeed as well. AIR is all over the place.

The On AIR Tour Is Going to Europe

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

We just announced the dates for On AIR Europe and we’re hitting 12 cities across Europe over a 4 week time span. Instead of bringing the bus along we’re going to be doing a train tour but you’ll still be able to follow us over the live feed, Twitter, and the chat. We’re really looking forward to meeting and talking with the web development community in Europe so hopefully you can join us for one of the events. We’ve got a Facebook page set up as well as a list of all the events on Upcoming. Here’s the full list:
