Presentation: "Rich Internet Applications for the Browser and the Desktop with Flex and Air"
Time: Friday 11:00 - 12:00
Location: St James's Suite
For the last 2+ years, the industry has shifted its attention to the client and the quality of the user interface. The incremental improvements that we are witnessing today are just first steps on a path towards "high definition" user interfaces: real time data, in-context collaboration, vector graphics-powered expressiveness, rich media integration, and offline capabilities will soon be standard attributes of most web applications.
In this session, Christophe Coenraets will provide a technical introduction to Flex, a complete solution for building this new breed of applications. He will demonstrate how, combined with AIR (the new Adobe Integrated Runtime), these applications can run in the Browser or on the Desktop, online or offline. Christophe will provide an in-depth overview of the Flex programming model and demonstrate the integration with other client technologies and existing Web frameworks.
