This week, I go it solo and cover the highlights of last week’s Adobe MAX. As usual, more than just the announcements themselves, I get into plenty of commentary and “analysis,” if you will of the different offerings. For example, there’s an interesting cloud/SaaS under-current running through several MAX items, notable Adobe Wave, CoCoMo, and MeerMeer.
First, I talk about the “Flash Platform” brand round-up, product level announcements (“Thermo” to Catalyst, FlexBuilder Gumbo, AIR 1.5, CoCoMo, and Flash Player 10). Then I get into my development releated highlight from the Sneaks, MeerMeer: a nice looking service for testing cross-browser compatibility problems. Finally, using Alchemy (which allows running/using C/C++ in the Flash Player) as a pivot, I think out-loud about allowing plugins to the Flash Player: is there even a reason to do that?
