Adobe Labs - Adobe AIR: Devloping on AIR with Flex and Flash

Adobe® Integrated Runtime (AIR), formerly code-named Apollo, is a cross-operating system runtime that allows web application developers to use their existing web development skills (HTML, JavaScript, Adobe Flash®, Adobe Flex™, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop. Once installed, these connected desktop applications complement browser-based web applications by providing additional reach and capabilities.

Adobe® AIR™ applications can be built using a wide variety of tools, frameworks, and IDEs. Adobe is working to provide solutions that interoperate with existing tools while exposing the new capabilities and features available to applications built on Adobe AIR.

erubycon - Columbus, Ohio - Data Warehousing with ActiveWarehouse Data warehouses are a common fixture in many enterprises. Data warehouses provide an environment for integrating data from systems across the enterprise into a single environment where the data can be analyzed and long-term trends can be identified. Data warehouses provide the basis for in-depth knowledge about an enterprise and all of its components.

This presentation will provide an introduction to data warehousing, Rails style. It will cover the elements of the ActiveWarehouse plugin, an open source extension for Ruby on Rails that helps developers build data warehouses, as well as ActiveWarehouse ETL, the Extract-Transform-Load library that is part of the ActiveWarehouse project.

Gaia Flash Framework What is Gaia?

Gaia is a front-end Flash Framework targeted at anyone who develops Flash sites. Gaia is designed to dramatically reduce development time. It provides solutions to the challenges and repeated tasks we all face with front-end Flash site development, such as navigation, transitions, preloading, asset management, site structure and deep linking. It provides speed and flexibility in your workflow and a simple API that gives you access to its powerful features.

Most available Flash frameworks are back-end frameworks, or require senior level coding experience to use. Gaia is different by being for front-end development, being easy enough to use that it’s accessible to a novice Flash developer, yet powerful enough for advanced coders to use without feeling limited. Gaia is tightly focused on helping you do your job without getting in your way. It is flexible enough that you can work the way you like to work without forcing you to change your style. Whether you write everything in AS2 classes, hack AS1 on the timeline or anywhere in between, Gaia helps you get the job done.
