Web 2.0 to work 2.0 - Adobe is going to cater for everyone. Apart from acquiring Virtual Ubiquity, they are working on number of applications, platforms which will help to retain adobe’s supremacy over the RIA market.Max 2007 was one of the most successful events of adobe in terms of visibility and marketing the future product. I could not attend MAX. Out of the hype on the blogosphere I had to notice the following interesting technologies:
CoCoMo :
Adobe® Connect™ enables peoples to share screens and have meetings. Users pay on hosted subscription basis without buying this product.It seems that adobe is going more towards this revenue model. Adobe is opening that up now as a platform for developers which will be known as CoCoMo .It will allow the developers to create applications that Adobe will be hosting. Web video, is one of the key focus of adobe. Few days back they have announced support for H.264 high-definition video in Flash.
Pacifica:
Pacifica is another interesting real-time collaboration technology which is going to add voice communications to adobe platform. Pacifica is the name of Adobe's voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP),developers will be able to establish point-to-point, player-to-player connection using Pacifica.
Thermo:
Adobe is always popular among the designers. Thermo is the visual tool that will enable more designers to create rich Internet applications. Now designers will be able to enjoy ultimate freedom while designing the rich user experience. The prime focus behind this tool will be on encashing from the existing designer base. This is why Thermo is a one of the strategic project for Adobe. It will enable designers to more efficiently build the richer experiences and shall also give developers greater control over creative assets without leaving the development model. It aimed at improving the work flow that happens when developers and designers create applications.
As a Flex Developer,I am happy that I will have lots of new tools and technologies to work with :)

I also want to see half a million Indian Flex Developers in next three years!
Dear Yakov Fain,
This is regarding your post "I also want to see a million Flex developers in three years". I liked your attitude towards the technology, especially when you say ' I’m not going to fall in love with any programming language, sorry, Flex. But I promise, we’ll have steady relations for a while’. You are sounding like a real businessman here :)! I agree that everything depends on the current market trend. Flex is hot and you want to explore or exploring the opportunity around. Good luck Yakov Fain! But I don't agree on the part that India is still asleep. Have a look to this post
Flex India is going great guns
This post will prove you wrong! As an early adopter of flex and being a part of the ever increasing flex developer community of India,I can assure you about a good competition soon from these new kids on the block.
Best Regards,
Debabrata

Flex 2 Contracts:Contractor/Freelancer Rates for Adobe Flex 2 developers in UK
I came to this site which looked at the demand for Adobe Flex 2 developers in UK with a comparison to their application Development category. They have presented a study of the contractor/freelancer rates which have been offered in IT jobs that required Flex 2 skill over the last 3 month to 23 August 2007 with a comparison to the same period last year.
Do you have any idea how much a Flex contractor earns in UK?? The average rate of a UK based flex developers is as high as £306!!
Let’s convert those digits in INR :)
----------------------------------------------------
Daily:306.00 GBP = 25,130.94 INR
Monthly:3910.00 GBP = 753,901.05 INR
Yearly:46930.00 GBP = 3,853,794.93 INR
-----------------------------------------------------
United Kingdom Pounds India Rupees
1 GBP = 82.1179 INR 1 INR = 0.0121776 GBP
-----------------------------------------------------
I don’t have any idea about the Indian rates. Let’s calculate it using the simple formula: yearly Rate = Years of Experience + 1.5 lac
That means a guy having 5 years of experience in IT industry will earn 6.5 Lacs per year.

Market Speculation:Google takeover of Adobe
Macromedia>Adobe>Google ?
Flash video is the most popular thing over the internet. Youtube has not only created its own fortune out of it but also helped flash community to grow with the noticeable increase in the flash player 9 penetrations. By the time I am typing this post the penetration is as high as:
2,483,353,315
And this success story has created lots of forecast like these:
Google: Buy Adobe for Video!
A Google (GOOG) Takeover Of Adobe (ADBE)?
May be these are just speculations but who knows the future. Anything can happen in today’s market scenario.
Tomorrow may be adobe flash player will be known as Google Flash Player :)

Unit testing for Flex and ActionScript 3
I wanted to attend Adobe Evangelist prayank swaroop's presentaion on FlexUnit today but could not make it because of some urgent meeting at work.After returning to home,I have got the link of the recording from Flex India group. That presentation was good.I think in India we are not using unit testing tool extensively for Flex app testing.This presentation will definitely help the fellow Indian developers.
Good initiative prayank!!
I have listed down some of the good resources for Flex unit testing here.
1.Unit testing and Test Driven Development (TDD) for Flex and ActionScript 3.0
2.ActionScript 3 error checking: unit testing recommended

Open source media streaming for Flash client using rtmp protocol:Red5
You are a Flash/Flex Developer and your client has come up with a requirement of Audio/video/data streaming and you replied that yes, I know how to do that. Probably you have suggested Flash Media Server as a solution for the same. But your client declined it because of the high licensing price of it. How frustrating!
Don’t worry. Some great guys are doing a really cool thing to help you.
Yes, I am talking about the red5 project of osflash. Let me quote from Chris Allen's -Red5 Co-project Manager:
“Other than price, here are some of the key advantages of Red5over the other solutions.- Red5 allows you access to anything that Java can do (database access(JDBC, Hibenate, iBatis, etc...), JMS, SOAP, other APIs). This listcould go on and on, so I won't.- Allows other clients (not just Flash player) access to the sameframework. Java applications, Ajax calls, XML Socket, etc...- It's open source, so modifying it your suit needs is not a problem.- It's a one server solution for RTMP and AMF remoting, which tiesinto a convenient API for building robust applications easily.Here's a quick list of what Red5 and FMS can do that an XMLSocketsolution (Unity) can't.- Stream, send and receive binary data (Shared objects, AMF objects),through RTMP and remoting. (no need for serializing and deserializingon the client)-True streaming of video and audio. Includes capturing and recordingmicrophone and webcam data on the server-side.Now, the disadvantages of Red5 versus the others:- It's not done yet. Expect a production worthy version sometime bythe end of the year. (and don't quote me on that) We are all working on this project in our free time, so it's really tough to get accuratetime estimates at the moment.- Lack of official (paid support). While we are quick to respond toquestions on our mailing list, we don't currently have what Adobe canoffer in this area.- Lack of Hosting - one can't simply deploy Red5 on any shared hostingsolution. This probably goes for the others as well, but I know thereare more options for the others at the moment."
