Max Europe Day One

I am a little late publishing this entry but but here we are anyway.

Adobe really put on a good show for the keynote speech. The huge wide screen display, the presentations from Keven Lynch and a lot of other Adobe product managers.

They showcased new technologies and Ben did a brief talk on the United Way website that they upgraded to CF8 with some Ajax functionality.

The Adobe AIR presentation completely blew me away! The drag and drop capabilities from desktop to AIR App and dragging and dropping from one AIR App to another. This technology is really going to take off in a huge way as it opens up possibilities that were just not really available to us Web developers before.

I think we are going to see a lot of productivity and business applications take advantage of this ability to work effectively off-line and then sync up once back online.

I am looking forward to my Flex/AIR sessions.
