Summit day 2 - afternoon
Mike is showing his demos on a Mac running Parallel with Windows XP running inside of it. Of the Apple fans I've talked to, it is very clear that they are fervantly into the Mac OS. I rarely see people drool over their Windows.
Mike just showed full screen HDTV running in Parallels on his Mac through an Apollo app. Very good runtime performance, and that is with early builds. One nice thing with Apollo over the old Central (only released as a developer preview) application is branding. Adobe isn't putting large branded chrome on the applications you build. Your app is your app.
If you have feature wishes for Apollo, you can send them to wish-apollo at adobe.com. You can always report bugs and feature wishes for the majority of projects at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/ Links that Mike recommended:
Christian Cantrell is now a part of the Apollo team. His job duties are to 'build stuff'. Mike responded to a question on use cases for Apollo by agreeing that his demos (video, mp3 player, etc.) are his own personal hobbies (he did state a few legit ones). Must be nice to have a job where you get to play part time.
Ted Patrick, a new Technical Flex Evangelist demonstrated some basic features of Flex Builder 2. Most of the information was rather generic in nature and can be found by visiting Flex.org for links, blogs and resources. He briefly discussed the pricing and product line.
Flex Framework, SDK, Compiler >> Free
Flex Data Services Express >> 1CPU Free
In Flexbuilder, you can highlight a section of code, hold the control button down and hit the up or down arrow keys on your keyboard to move the block up and down. This is a side benefit of the Eclipse application.
Note: There appears to be a minor bug in the RDS feature in Flex Builder relative to the ColdFusion wizards.
I'll be posting a brief photo montage of some of the semi-public areas of the Adobe offices on FusionAuthority.com in a few days.
FYI: SQL statement is not saved in Report Builder Issue
In ColdFusion Report Builder 7.0.2, if you type a SQL statement into the query builder, save it and then reopen the query builder, the SQL is no longer there. It is available in Snippets, however.
Solution - Download and install the latest build of Report Builder 7.0.2 from the ColdFusion downloads page to fix this problem.
