Web 2.0 Session

These two above sessions are my favourite one 🙂  .. So I simply taken screen-shots. Oh ! oh !..Other sessions were also great .. But I’ve already had some experience with other session demos, so I didn’t concentrate much on that.
1. Flash CS4 essential Tips and Tricks

2. Fireworks CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 for Web2.0

3. AS2.0 and AS3.0 comparison coverage

He spoke a lot about Dreamweaver CS4 , Fireworks CS4 and Flash CS4 for creating Web 2.o apps. I had a great time by knowing some cool tips and tricks from these two sessions.  He also shared some clear and confined details on Action Script 2.0 (AS2.0) and Action Script 3.0(As3.0), some doubts were cleared from my popping mind .. If you would have attend these sessions, definitely you would have been enjoyed on these products ..

This will save the productivity time. Developers can use Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com to build applications that work the way people work.

*  Turn multi-step business process applications into a one-screen experience that increases usability and efficiency.

*  Provide light-weight client-side integration to unify user experiences across systems inside and outside the firewall into a single application for better business visibility.

The solution also gives developers flexibility to scale their applications to fit a variety of business needs by:
*    Building new applications supporting both browser and desktop deployment scenarios.
*    Creating new application components that are tailored to specific job functions or business use cases and integrated into existing applications.
*    Adding rich UI elements to existing Salesforce CRM or Force.com applications.

Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com includes:

*    Professional Eclipse®-based IDE, unifying Adobe Flash Builder and the Force.com IDE into a common, highly productive environment for building a variety of Force.com applications.
