My wish list to Adobe Flex “Slider” framework
Jun 24th
What is “Slider” framwork? You may ask.
For common answer, it is an Adobe’s mobile application development platform.
For technique answer, this framework will lift up your Flex 4 to develop mobile application more easier.
Anyway, the framework is still in confidential development. But the feature seems shine out from the mobile development’s war. There are several things that “Slider” should has. So I listed what feature would make Flex developer feel happy here.
My Adobe “Slider” framework‘s wish list.
- Best practice for memory allocation
- Component for mobile (eg. List and DataGrid). They should support user’s activity such as swipe.
- Improved view (or state) management. We can see this example in iPhone OS. Apple provides its very well.
- Ability to access native resource and native service. This feature may consume a lot of time to prepare for public release. Because of different native platform (Android, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, etc.) Adobe has to tune up their framework for each platform. But I am sure they are doing better thing.
- Enhanced Publishing. Flash Builder (aka. Flex Builder 4) shows us the great work flow to publish content through various project’s type (eg. AIR development and web development). I have no doubt that Adobe plans to add something like “Mobile development” (or more specific platform such as “BlackBerry development”).
How do you thing? In my opinion, these are all feature it should be included in Slider framework when it released. May be we will got a surprise from Adobe MAX 2010. Who will know? 
Cheers, and have a great day to you.
Countdown to Adobe MAX 2010
Jun 23rd
“Adobe MAX!?” you may said. If you are didn’t heard about this event before, this is your good chance. Adobe MAX is an Adobe’s official event which target to announce new inspiration to digital creation and productivity by introduce you their new tools. They often make you said “WOW” in this event. From the last Adobe MAX (2009), they announced the new capability of their digital interactive tool (Adobe Flash professional, now as a part of Adobe Flash platform) to engage user with multi-touch and iPhone application development.
Q. Will Flash websites work with Google TV?
A. Yes. Google TV supports Flash 10.1 and hence Flash websites will work.
This year, Adobe acts strongly to bring Flash platform to engage user to almost devices (Google Android (included with GoogleTV, yeah!), Window Phone 7, RIM’s BlackBerry, Meego, etc.) and with the war between them and Apple, It is possible that Adobe make brought “WOW” things about HTML5 to us.
Anyway, I also want to join this event too (It would be nice if I can go there with @Thinkafe and other Thailand Flex developer). Personally, I am waiting for “Slider“, a new enhanced library for Adobe Flex framework. It was planned to bring the completely mobile development environment for Flex developer. If you didn’t try Flash Builder, one of the great tools to develop rich internet application, just download it here for 60 days free (trial version). Finally, after you learn the official “Getting Started guide”, I’m quite sure you will feel exciting with me, and want that “Slider” release as soon as possible.
“How will this more easier?”
Cheer, and see you again.
