Adobe Unleashes Flex as Open Source

Posted by ahmadster at April 26th, 2007

I talked about the potential of Adobe Flex before, now the doors are open.

get ready to see the Flex OS. The underlaying OS will not matter, Flex will be it. It will take a long time, but people will eventually wake up to it.

Why am I so certain? the market will correct itself. Now Flex is the most appropriate thing to build a cross platform UI. It is as close as possible to the sexiness of OS X (close enough), and fully internet aware.

There is one person that I can think of who should be thanked for this, there maybe more folks but the most visible sane person at Adobe is Duane Nickull.

Apps On a Plane !

Posted by ahmadster at April 24th, 2007

Last week Etelos rocked the planet and introduced Apps On a Plane (here is a video, check it out). We got so much press :)

Every one we talked to was excited. Imagine, building a desktop application with PHP + a DB + Security :)

More to come from the Web 2.0 Expo, recovering still.

Maybe someone will create us a very good AOP Icon thx
