This alpha version of the Apollo runtime provides developers with the opportunity to begin building  applications for Apollo.

More on creating Flex Applications based on the new runtime coming soon here in EMEA Apolloland ;]

Knowledge session: Flex 2 within a Java / Spring environment

Java development house Quintor is hosting a 4-hour knowledge session on Flex 2 and Java Spring integration. The workshop will be hosted in Amsterdam on 13th of March 2007 in the late faternoon. Unforutunately it looks like I won't make it myself.

I've seen an increased Flex interest with the local Java development houses recently. It's really cool to see how the community now starts to host it's own Flex sessions independantly of Adobe (cause we are not involved in the Quintor event at all).

The obvious next step would be a Dutch Flex User Group, volunteers anyone? ;-)

EMEA Apolloland

For the ones of our ecosystem who were sitting in the back: we will enter Apolloland soon. This also means for EMEARIA.EU/EMEAFORMS.EU that there is an extra enterprise benefit working with Flex and other Adobe products.  In Apolloland we will have additional enterprise opportunities delivering additional value to our enterprise customers. Also you will see us suddenly surface in areas where we never entered before. You could call it  mercantile exploring, as a Dutch native it is part of our merchant living. Being a -koopman- is perceived as a normal part of our Amsterdam culture. For a short view of the landscape pls look at:  Adobe’s Apollo Provides New Ground For Entrepreneurs.
