O’Reilly: Inside RIA

This week saw Mashable collecting a list of useful AIR applications, a tutorial on the Eclipse JavaFX plug-in, integration between BlazeDS and Spring, and Serge Jespers corrects misconceptions about Flash video. All this and more on the Weekly RIA RoundUp from InsideRIA.

This week saw the launch of two new runtimes: Google's Native Client and Appcelerator Titanium. In addition, the Silverlight toolkit gets a refresh, Adobe Max content is made available online, and Adobe partners with Spring for Flex support. All this and more on the Weekly RIA RoundUp from InsideRIA.

This week we returned from the Thanksgiving break to see the final version of JavaFX 1.0 being released, a look at Silverlight 3, an intro to Flash Catalyst, improvement on ExtJS's AIR integration, Flash Player 10 on Android, and much more on the Weekly RIA RoundUp from InsideRIA.

With holidays here in the United States last week (as well as the birth of my two sons), we decided to give the Weekly RoundUp a week off here at InsideRIA, but we will be returning next week with all of the latest news from the RIA landscape. As always, we would love to hear any ideas or suggestions that you have to make the podcast even better!

The main event of this week was the Adobe Max 2008 conference in San Francisco. Adobe made clear at this conference that the RIA landscape is an essential part of their plan for the future. This week saw the release of a tool to run C code in the Flash Player, Thermo gets an official name, ColdFusion 9 details are revealed, Flex Builder 4 details are released, and Adobe offered interactiviy in the cloud with Cocomo. All this and more on the Weekly RIA RoundUp from InsideRIA.

The first bits of ColdFusion information appeared on Adobe Labs this morning. This is certainly exciting for ColdFusion developers as Adobe has finally given information not only on the next version of ColdFusion, but also announced the much anticipated official ColdFusion IDE.

This week is the annual Adobe Max conference which is being held in San Francisco. We will spend some time looking at what we expect to be announced as this conference as well as covering the Channel 9 Continuum, Silverlight styling with Expression Blend 2, the new Dojo extensions for Adobe AIR, and the future of ExtJS. All this and more on the Weekly RIA RoundUp from InsideRIA.

In addition to many of the bigger announcements that have already been unveiled at Max 2008, Serge Jespers announced a new Flex application that was developed by the evangelism team to showcase Flex and AIR functionality. This application is named, 'Tour De Flex'. In addition to the AIR application, there is also an Eclipse plug-in that enables you to search through the over 200 examples included in Tour De Flex.
