Now that CS5 is available, the EMEA Evangelism team will be holding an Online Developer Week from 7th June - 10th June where we'll be covering the entire design, develop and deploy workflow by building an application using Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 along side the Flash Platform suite of tools. We'll be focusing on Flash Builder, Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst and Flex 4 as well as the Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.0 runtimes. Starting with designs from Photoshop and Illustrator and each day adding more functionality to our application so that by the end of the week we will have a fully functioning solution on multiple devices. In the process we'll also be looking at P2P in relation to Flash Player 10.1 as well as how to link up your application to server technologies like LiveCycle, Java and PHP.

- Earlier in the month I blogged about the up and coming Adobe Intel Application Lab event at the Adobe offices in San Francisco. If you are like me and don't happen to live in the bay area but really wanted to attend, don't worry. We've created a connect room and will be broadcasting the event. So if you can't make it in person but would love to attend virtually, then point your browsers to http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/applab and enjoy the event in the comfort of your own home / office or in the case of us Europeans, probably bed. It is a West Coast evening event so times are in PST (Pacific Standard Time) as I jokingly mentioned it will be the middle of the night for a lot of us. However I'm sure the recordings will be on AdobeTV very soon after the event, so don't feel you have to stay up half the night to attend - although it'd be cool to see you all there :). The sessions covered and the times they will be broadcast via Connect are below: Agenda (all times in PST) 5:30 PM - Flash Platform Services Overview (Adobe) 6:00 PM - Intel AppUp Center Business Model and Opportunity (Intel) 7:00 PM - Technical Deep Dive (Adobe) 8:30 PM - Staffed Open Lab (Adobe and Intel) If you're not sure what time these session commence where you're located you can check your local time compared to PST here [more...]

Oh and if you haven't tried one yet - man they are sweeeet. So stop wasting time here and head over to Serge's blog and may the best (or the luckiest) person win :D [more...]
- Initial documentation for Cairngorm 3 has been uploaded to Adobe's open source site. There's not a huge amount of info there at the mo', but what is there is worth a read - especially once they get more detail up about the Presentation Model and how it functions with the Presentation Graphic Layer and the Presentation Behaviour Layer.
