Review of Flex vs Silverlight Debate at Cal Poly Pomona

Posted by Luis Majano

I completely forgot to post about this and post a link to the event we hosted at Cal Poly Pomona last month between Adobe and Microsoft. The debate was excellent and we had great attendance for the IECFUG. We where able to get more students and interest in our ColdFusion User Group and hopefully get to recruit some more after an awe inspiring presentation by Kevin Hoyt.

Unfortunately, I won't say anything bad about Microsoft because I won a copy of Vista Ultimate! :) (hmm, what did I do with it?)

If you want to see the video for yourself and see how the debate was laid out see who won, check this link out:

Come join us for The battle for control of the future of computing debate at

7 PM (PST/GMT +8) on Thursday, February 12 in the Bronco Student

Center (Ursa Minor) at California State Polytechnic University in

Pomona. Microsoft Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. will present their

contenders for whose technologies will dominate. Adobe (maker of

Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver) is encouraging developers to create

media-rich desktop computer applications that operate independently of

the Internet through its Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). Microsoft

wants developers to create media-rich applications that can be used

online through its Silverlight technology.

Sam Stokes, academic developer/evangelist at Microsoft Corporation and

Kevin Hoyt, platform evangelist at Adobe will represent the two sides.

The free event is sponsored by the Interactive Web Development Student

Association, the Computer Information Systems department in the

College of Business Administration and the Inland Empire ColdFusion

User Group and will be streamed live over the Internet. Pizza,

refreshments and a free drawing for multimedia software will be

provided.

Intro to Adobe AIR + Ebay "San Dimas"

Posted by Luis Majano
Jul 16, 2007 00:00:00 UTC
In this presentation they covered more of the capabilities of AIR, how to use it and much more stuff. Mike, covered how to create an AIR package from a simple Flex Application with Flex Builder 3. Flex Builder 3 looks awesome and the ease of creating the applications is just outstanding. You can also download it from the Adobe Labs. The gears and turning... So beware...

Here is the link to the google doc notes.

The guys from Ebay also demoed their application San Dimas where you have a full integration to your desktop from ebay. WOW!! It was an excellent demo and the app just looks great. As soon as I get a link I will update this.
