Just wondering what everyone elses thoughts are on this. There's a lot of chatter going on about this.
Looking at Adobe's roadmap for Flash ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html )
ActionScript "Next" development has been cancelled
Flash Player "Next" development has been cancelled
AIR for Windows 8 "Modern UI" has been cancelled
Kevin Lynch (Adobe CTO) has left Adobe to go to Apple ( didnt see that one coming )
The thing I don't get about Adobe is how they are pimping out that AIR be used only for gaming. You don't ever hear them say that AIR is a great platform for developing Multiplatform Mobile Apps.... which it is! I would argue its the best simply because of how easy it is to develop multi-platform apps with ease.
I work in corporate marketing in a billion dollar+ company and I'm using AIR for mobile apps and it's awesome!
Now looking at my own personal roadmap moving forward... do I want to keep AIR on the radar ?
I've also built apps using PhoneGap, etc.. and its a nightmare. It's tedius, performance is mediocre. I really felt that AIR was moving in the right direction.
I'm going to Adobe MAX in May.. I'm hoping that they announce something enlightening.
What are your thoughts ?
