Last Friday (November 11th 2011) the Flex Product team made a huge announcement about the future of Flex. The initial impression from the post, in-conjunction with the Flash Mobile announcement, caused a lot of controversy and confusion about the current state of Flex, Adobe’s overall goals with Flex and how they planned to handle Flex in the future.
Yesterday (Nov. 15th), the product team updated the post with a lot more clarity and details about what Adobe is doing with Flex. The core take-away with this update is that Adobe will be donating nearly all of the Flex eco-system (excluding the Flash Player, AIR & Flash Builder) to Apache:
We are preparing two proposals for incubating Flex SDK and BlazeDS at the Apache Software Foundation.
In addition to contributing the core Flex SDK (including automation and advanced data visualization components), Adobe also plans to donate the following:
- Complete, but yet-to-be-released, Spark components, including ViewStack, Accordion, DateField, DateChooser and an enhanced DataGrid.
- BlazeDS, the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Flex applications.
- Falcon, the next-generation MXML and ActionScript compiler that is currently under development (this will be contributed when complete in 2012)
- Falcon JS, an experimental cross-compiler from MXML and ActionScript to HTML and JavaScript.
- Flex testing tools, as used previously by Adobe, so as to ensure successful continued development of Flex with high quality
Adobe will also have a team of Flex SDK engineers contributing to those new Apache projects as their full-time responsibility. Adobe has in-development work already started, including additional Spark-based components.
Adobe also plans to continue support of current and future versions of Flex within the Flash Player, AIR runtimes, and Flash Builder. We definitely recommend reading the full post on the Flex Product teams blog.

I hope everyone had as much fun attending the lab, as I did giving it! If you want to do more of these type of meeting, let me or James know. Here are the intro slides that I presented.
Here are some resources that were posted last night, along with the announcement that Creative Suite 5.5 is now shipping!
Narciso Jaramillo (nj) has a great tutorial on building an app that gets the latest trending topics from Twitter and lets you see the tweets for each topic as well as who posted each tweet.
The document I was referencing during the lab can be found here.
Have fun!

So how is this different than the normal registration?
It is online. So you are free to watch any of the presentations live, but when you register, you also get access to the recorded presentations. That is 33 sessions from some of the biggest and best names in the business, including the keynote by Adobe’s Doug Winnie.
After you register, you’ll get an email back telling you the live room recordings. You’ll be sent where to view the recordings after the conference.
Kansas City’s first Designer/Developer Workflow Conference. June 19-20 in downtown Kansas City, MO near the Power & Light District. We have some of the best speakers both locally and internationally coming to talk on all things workflow. If you are a designer, developer or both, this conference is for you.
What’s the big deal about workflow? Workflow is something we all do, day in and day out – although you may not even think about it. Do you work with multiple applications during the day? Do you work with team members, departments, clients, etc.? Improving those workflows is what D2W is all about. We have 3 tracks, with 60-minute sessions. Sign up as a designer, developer, or as a hybrid of both. In addition to the sessions centering around workflow, there’ll be several biz-type sessions for Web professionals.
We have an amazing speaker list. Doug Winnie, Flash Catalyst Product Manager and Workflow Manager, Paul Trani – Flash Platform Evangelist, Pariah Burke – Adobe Instructor and workflow is his middle name, Rob Huddleston – Adobe Instructor and author extraordinaire as well as Tom Green who is a legend in the Flash world. We have many more amazing speakers, check out the speakers page and find out more.
