Finally, the session will demonstrate built in support for AIR development from
Adobe Dreamweaver and the Eclipse based
Aptana.
[12:00] Lunch
Lunch will be provided. Use this time to recharge your (and your laptop's) batteries, chat with other developers, hang out in the Q&A room or check out some of on AIR Tour partners’ AIR applications in the Partner Exhibit Area.
[1:00] Leveraging HTML and JavaScript within Adobe AIR (Kevin Hoyt)
Gain a better understanding of the HTML and JavaScript environments within the Adobe Integrated Runtime, and explore how these technologies can be leveraged in both Flash / Flex and HTML / JavaScript-based applications. JavaScript and ActionScript script bridging will be covered, as well as how to use AIR, Flash Player and ActionScript Library APIs directly from JavaScript.
[1:30] Adobe AIR API Overview (Daniel Dura)
Receive an overview of the new APIs that the Adobe Integrated Runtime makes available to applications. Both ActionScript and JavaScript examples will be shown.
[2:00] Business Class AIR – Rich Desktop Clients for On-Demand Apps (Salesforce.com)
This session will demonstrate how Web services enabled, on-demand
applications are a perfect companion to the new generation of AIR-based
desktop technologies and apps. Combining the ability of salesforce.com’s on
demand platform to build and run sophisticated business applications –
entirely over the Internet and without software – with the rich app
functionality of Flex and AIR, developers can create “business class” AIR
apps that meet the requirements of the enterprise, delivering the innovation
and creativity of the next generation of desktop apps, and can be built and
deployed in record time.
