onAir European Tour London - Streaming

So today is the London leg of the onAir tour. I thought this would be a great opportunity to test out qik too. So over the course of the day I will be streaming directly from the event (battery life on my N95 permitting).
For those who want to have a look you can find my […]

Flash Media Rights Management Server - Adobe does DRM?

Adobe announce that they have a new addition to the Flash Media Server family. Content owners can use FMRMS to encrypt FLV and F4V audio / video files that are downloaded and played locally — and then sets policies for their access.
This means that media broadcasters could potentially set the access requirements and expiration flags […]

Thermo - It’s Looking sweet

( AIR (Apollo) and Flex )

Didn’t have much time to post anything yesterday, but I had to post up some first hand info about Thermo that Steve Heinz “sneak-peeked” on Monday.
I was at the Adobe UK Boot Camp, organized to coincide with the launch of Flex 3 and AIR and Steve Heinz (Senior Product Manager for Thermo) and a couple […]

For those who use, or have […]

Should Adobe buy Aptana?

Aptana have just released version 1.0 of their eclipse based IDE for HTML / AJAX development. It comes in two flavours - Community Studio and Professional Studio (one free - Community Studio, one not - Professional Studio). So it seemed like an ideal time to put to paper, so to speak, something that I have […]

Adobe Flex Builder 2.0 free for students

Adobe announced last night that they will be offering Flex Builder 2.0 at no cost to students and faculties. This is a very shrewd move and may help nip Microsoft’s continued steam-rolling of Silverlight into the mass market in the bud in the interim. Plus of course it will create new generation of Flex developers […]

Flex Builder, Aptana and AIR

Aptana as I briefly mentioned in my post about additional plugins for Flex Builder (or eclipse to be more precise). Is an HTML / Ajax IDE. It also supports AIR development, so you can happily produce specific or hybrid AIR applications without ever having to leave Flex Builder. However what may not be too clear […]
