There are some really cool technologies coming out from Adobe soon. There were some really nice things on the design side like the ability to turn Photoshop layers into Flex applications with Thermo and a demo of a future Flash capability where you apply joint connectors to images and animating them. However, being a developer I was more interested code centric topics. CoCoMo really impressed me. They broke the functionality of Adobe Connect down into individual Flex components so that you can imbed them into any Flex application. You can only include the options you want such as video stream, voice chat, text chat, and the shared white board.

An alpha version of Flex Builder for Linux is now available on labs. I’m sure Nic will be thrilled. He was just complaining about how he had to put Windows back on his desktop because he couldn't run things like Flex Builder.
