Lee Brimelow (who happens to have the most interesting and entertaining session of the tour) has written up an overview of leg 1 of the on AIR Tour in Europe.

We had a blast on the first leg, and really impressed with the turnout, and enthusiasm from all of the European developers. We will be back in a couple of weeks for leg 2 of the tour.

You can read Lee’s overview here.

The first week of the on AIR Tour Europe is behind us and today we started on the second week with the event in Brussels. The first week by all accounts was a lot of fun and reached a lot of developers. Most of the team is still talking and we’ve only scared a few people away from our train cars.

We started out in Madrid and some of us arrived a day early to get used to the time change and eat some Tapas. Enrique Duvos showed us around Madrid and then gave the keynote in Spanish. The crowd was really great and enthusiastic about everything. Joao Fernandes recorded every single session throughout the day. We also has a very good mix of crowds. We had about half Ajax developers and half Flash/Flex developers. Fernando Comet had a good blog post on the tour. Pictures are here.

The next stop was Paris, France after a huge 13-hour train ride with no power. But after surviving that we ended up with a good crowd and a cool venue in Paris. We were at the old stock exchange and had a huge auditorium. Despite all of the speakers giving their talks in English we got a good reception from Paris. We only had one night in Paris but we had a blogger dinner with some of the bloggers in France (including Fred Cavazza) and then a few of us walked around the Louvre at night and then a smaller few of us caught the last shuttle to the top of the Eifel Tower. Photos here.

The last even of the week was in Amsterdam. There is a great writeup of the event here which breaks down each and every presentation. Despite the fact that it was on a Friday most of the crowd stayed to catch the last session of the day (Lee’s). We got some great questions and I was really impressed with how enthusiastic the Amsterdam developer community is. We had another 50/50 Ajax and Flex/Flash split and I think a lot of the Ajax developers came away impressed with what you can do. Pictures here.

After the event in Amsterdam we spent a weekend in Amsterdam. Some of us got bikes and rode around, some of us went to the Anne Frank museum and we all got together and tried Indonesian food for the first time. It was a good break after a week of non-stop touring and speaking.

We are nearing the end of the first week of the on AIR Tour in Europe, with the Amsterdam event tomorrow. We already have two great events (Madrid and Paris) under our belt, and are looking forward to Amsterdam, London and Brussels to finish up the first leg.

Anyways, we have been posting a ton of photos to Flickr, so if you want to keep up with some of the images form the tour, check out the tour’s Flickr group.

Well, the European leg of the on AIR tour starts next week in Madrid. We are really excited to be on the road for the events again, and meet with all of the developers interested in Adobe AIR. Anyways, just as on the first leg of the tour, you can keep up with everything going on with the tour in a couple of ways.

Here is a list of the tour feeds:

As we posted a couple of weeks ago, we had to postpone the Dublin event. This was a hard decision to make, especially because registration on the first leg has been so high, but circumstances conspired against us. However, the guys from the Scotch on the Rocks conference have gotten together with the Dublin Adobe User group, and are putting on a half day event on Flex and Adobe AIR in Dublin.

360 Flex, the premiere Flex focused conference, is heading to Milan, Italy. If you are either interested in, or already doing Flex development (browser and / or desktop), and are in Europe, then you need to attend this conference.

Well, first it was sold out, and then it wasn’t, but this time is for real. After expanding the capacity for the Paris event, it has once again filled up. So, once again, the entire first leg of the on AIR Tour in Europe is sold out.

If you missed the first 5 cities, you still have a chance to get to the tour on its second leg. You can find a complete list of cities on the schedule page.
