Report from on AIR Tour 2008 Europe

On 6th June some of us went to the onAir Tour 2008 Europe Conference in Warsaw.
The main theme of the Conference was a introduction of AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) technology by Adobe.
AIR enables creating desktop application using tools that are used for web development (Flex, Flash or Javascript).

From logistic point of view the event was excellect (very good catering, there were some Wii video games to relax).

As for the core speeches – some where very good, others were a little less brilliant.

In my opinion the best speech was a presentation by Lee Brimelow, about AIR Conditioning. During the presenation he showed a dozen of AIR applications, which demonstrate the capabilities of this new technology. Apart from being very well written and designed – the application were deadly funny.

Another presentation that cought my attention was a presenation about website called parleys.com. It’s a database of presentations and video, that demonstrate what new values AIR technology can bring to web development.

Of course there were a lot educational and promotional materials for attendends (and tshirts .
There was also a lotter with a very nice main prize – Adobe Master Collection.

In general – we have a lot of new ideas and inspiration about AIR technology right now.
I would expect some tutorials and posts about AIR soon.
