Adobe
Flash Builder is a development tool designed to help software
developers build rich Internet applications (RIAs). Adobe Flash
Catalyst is a new interaction design tool for rapidly creating
application user interfaces without coding.
The
tools offer an integrated workflow and are based on the new Flex 4
framework, an open source framework for building RIAs that will allow
developers and designers to collaborate on projects.
The
public betas of these products are available for download on Adobe
Labs at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash.
According to the company, the new data-centric development features
allow developers to introspect services and use a simple drag and drop
approach to quickly bind methods to user interface components, such as
interactive charts, graphs, and data grids.
These
features can make it easier to break down information silos and
integrate business data from databases and Web services across
different organizations. As a result, companies can build user-centric
applications for dashboards, e-commerce, and self-service Web portals
that streamline business processes for their employees, customers, and
partners.
The
Adobe Flash Platform is a system of integrated tools, frameworks,
clients, and servers for the development of Web applications, content
and video that runs across operating systems and devices.
