As my first post it only makes sense to talk a little bit about Slider, Adobe’s effort to bring the Flex SDK to devices. From our Adobe Labs page – “Adobe is currently developing a mobile-optimized version of the Flex framework that will make it easy for developers to build Flex applications that run across mobile devices. Using Slider, developers can leverage their existing skills to build intuitive applications that can be easily customized and rapidly adapted across platforms.”
We have a high level whitepaper that explains what we are doing in Slider and hints at some directions we are going to take it. I recommend reading through it, its pretty short and is light reading. We also have a FAQ up that you should check out.
Last but not least! Ely Greenfield and myself gave a presentation at MAX 2009 in L.A. that walks through in greater detail some areas we are looking at for Slider.
This is where I will be posting Slider news, info, and updates I will also be posting on other topics – most of the time relating to mobile. I will be posting the slides from the presentation tomorrow in pdf format. That is all I have for now but you can always follow me on twitter. Up next, more information on the Screens feature….

I hope that it will not be october 2010 before you guys get a beta out or decide to share your work with the developers community. I can’t get why you made such a fuss about slider and keep it in the corridors of the adobe inc for so long if not for the fear of losing the developers who will embrace a better model of development and monetisation (iphone,android..). If it is a matter of shortage of developers, then why not hire instead of adding the mobile agenda to the desktop guys.
