Thermo Sneak Peek at MAX Chicago 2007 Day 2 Keynote (Part I)

Adobe's most exciting announcement at the Day 2 Keynote at MAX Chicago 2007 was Thermo.

Thermo is a new tool that lets designers create Rich Internet Applications in a very visual manner. You can convert artwork into working components in a single click.

What do I think? Thermo rocks!

Since the video is longer than 10 minutes, I've had to break it up into several parts to get it on to YouTube.

Um... maybe it's a dumb question, but maybe this be the pre- adobe flash catalyst?

@assertnflaiure - Fireworks doesn't really do this well though. And fireworks doesn't handle the animation aspect at all. We'll have to wait and see how the MXML creation gets implemented, but personally I'm really excited by it.

Ok, well maybe that came off a little pretentious. But seriously though, I don't experience the road blocks that this program aims to solve. I follow a pretty rigid practice of code-behind that tries to minimize the giant mxml mess that Adobe typically uses in practice.

If it's composition using mxml that designers need, Fireworks already does this.

Sweet. Sounds like a new obstacle for REAL flex developers to deal with.
