Hi everyone,
I would like to bring to your notice some important issues regarding some of the Adobe Systems' Products, which I found very interesting when I attended a seminar today held by Adobe Systems. I knew a few new things from that, and would like to present here in my blog as I hope many may find them interesting and useful.
Firstly, Adobe Flash 10, the currently used version in the market, is known to be installed on around 95% or more of the systems integrated with internet by any means. What a great fact to be known?!!! This has been possible only because of the serious efforts put by the Adobe Systems in developing their products and updating that regularly in the internet. Even if anyone of has it not installed, Java Script code present in the Dynamic HTML page would ask for it, while trying to load any content, as many of us would have observed. This is the greatest deal of work from Adobe Systems that they are distributing it for free on every system in the Internet. In fact, the Adobe Flash supports many applications, makes applications interactive, easy to use, understand well.
Secondly, Adobe Systems has developed a new collection of technologies, called Adobe Flex, presently version 3, for the development and deployment of cross-platform Rich Internet Applications (RIA). The concept of RIA is new in a sense that the computational power of the client PCs is also used along with the servers' capability. RIA goes beyond page metaphor. RIA supports Rich data visualization, Real time data push and alerting, Rich data entry, Cinematic experience and Data flows to the user. Adobe Flex is like an SDK, which makes these RIAs possible with great ease and also enables the applications be easily developed. Basically there are two languages followed by the Adobe Flex applications, namely, MXML and Action Script, similar to the traditional HTML and Java Script. The Action Script is slightly different with respect to Java Script in the sense that Action Script is compiled rather than interpreted, it is 100% Object Oriented and a strongly typed language. As we have IDEs like Eclipse, NetBeans for traditional Java based applications' development, similarly there is an IDE developed by the Adobe Systems for developing Flex applications, called Flex Builder, which can work along with some other softwares like Flash CS4 Professional, Flash Catalyst, etc., and some other suites like Adobe Photoshop.
And many more……. like GUMBO, upcoming version of Flex Builder… I knew in that session.
I really enjoyed the session and I'm sure, everyone interested in new products can really enjoy the session. For your information, one can follow the links listed below to know more about Adobe Systems and its products.
I hope you all share your thoughts with me regarding Adobe Products and we all can gain knowledge together.
Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you found it interesting. Please feel free to write your comments...
