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.

Video: Thermo Sneak Peek at Adobe MAX Day 2 Keynote

  1. I’m interested to test it out to see what the quality of the code is – hoping it doesn’t botch it like a lot of WYSIWYG-like editors tend to do.

  2. WOW. I know how to code Flex stuff, but this could save TONS of time. This is really sweet.

  5. Thermo: Neue Adobe-Anwendung für RIA-Erstellung…

    Adobe hat auf der MAX 2007 in Chicago ein neues Programm namens Thermo (Codename) vorgestellt. Es ist vom Ansatz – im Gegensatz zu Flex – nicht für Entwickler, sondern für Designer konzipiert.

  8. [...] Finally it’s there. The first Rich Internet Designer tool, called “Thermo”. I wish I was at Adobe Max 2007, but that’s not affordable for a student like me :). But Aral Balkan is a very nice guy, and he shot some movies from the sneak preview of “Thermo”. [...]

  10. One thing they didn’t mention during the keynote is:

    1) What happens when the designer goes back and updates the PSD?

    2) What happens when an application has multiple PSDs?

    I was trying to find them in the community pavilion to ask them, but their booth is either nonexistant or simply hard to find (I could swear they said they have a booth).

    We never caught up to talk Mail and SWX. I’ll be doing a session at AIR Park tomorrow from 10-1 if you’re around.

  17. Thanks for these videos!
    It got me wondering: is Adobe inventing a new job > interactiv-igner ? The guy/gal that will sit just between the design and the developer…

    Great product here!

  18. [...] Przyszłość w kolorze C? Adobe MAX w Chicago dobiega końca i po newsach na gorąco przychodzi czas opamiętania. Do paczki od Świętego Mikołaja Adobe dorzucił Thermo – program stojący okrakiem między Flashem, a Flexem, służący do łatwego i szybkiego budowania BAIsów. Wypuszczane, może nie lawinowo, filmiki odzierają trochę ze świętości to co zostało pokazane na pierwszym pokazie Flash Playera 10. Między innymi ten wywiad z Justinem Everett-Churchem. Wynika z niego, że głośne 3D w FP10 to zwykła transformacja perspektywy, podobna do tej ze starego Photoshopa. Owszem, dostaniemy “tylko” możliwość obracania płaskich obiektów w “przestrzeni” – jednak do bardziej zaawansowanych operacji, budowania prawdziwych obiektów 3D coś na kształt PaperVision3D/Away3D/Sandy będzie potrzebne. Justin nie wykluczył również sprzętowego wsparcia dla tego rodzaju przekształceń. Kolejna rzecz to silnik tekstu: pokazane kolumny tekstowe to ponoć komponent oparty na nowych możliwościach, a nie gotowe rozwiązanie wspierane bezpośrednio z API wtyczki. [...]

  21. [...] In filmuletele de pe Aral Balkan, vedem o aplicatie designer-oriented dar care permite si mici modificari in cod. E incredibil cat de usor se poate face o lista, un scrollbar sau cat de usor se converteste un element text importat din Photoshop intr-un input. [...]

  24. I am a little worried. Aral you did a great job of keeping us updated about the first two days of MAX but no word from you about the last day of the conference. What’s up? Are you okay? Did you leave early? I really missed your report about MAX day 3 ;-)

    Worried guest
  25. @worried guest: Thanks for the concern, man — still breathing! I had my own talk on Day 3 so I couldn’t do any reporting. I do have some footage from the sneak peeks, etc. that I’m most likely going to edit together in the coming days. Also expect a flurry of activity on my Flickr account as I upload the zillions of pictures I took.

  36. first look: it seems like the old wysiwyg trash… may it’s interesting for those who don’t care about clean code. by the way: what about css support? i agree with CPMMUG. i also saw a font size attribute in a tag…. in one way it looks pretty simple for ‘designing’ sites but i think it will never be able to replace a good webdesigner with his abilities in writing code itself.

  42. [...] STYLING RICH APPS WITH FL, PS, AI AND FW (Serge Jespers) Serge kicked off his second presentation by talking about the new and as-yet-to-be-released tool called Thermo. I was hardly impressed by the badly scaled-up screenshots from Adobe Labs Serge showed. And here again pretty much all of the information was already available some time ago. [...]

  43. we do not need any more new apps from adobe. what we need is better breakdown between the apps they already make. ie flex builder AND thermo should probably be bundled with flash professional and fireworks (which should receive some of thermo’s functionality) should be bundled with photoshop. greedy f’in bastards.

  44. [...] The name Adobe Thermo dropped for a second, just to bad Adobe MAX Europe was in a couple of days, where they’ll be presenting it so they couldn’t really go into it that deep. Luckily Aral Balkan put some a video onto Youtube from the MAX Chicago 2007 Keynote which you really have to check out if you’re interested into designing RIA’s in any way. When I first saw Thermo it had a real “wow” buzz going on, but when we talked about it later that day we came to the conclusion that it’s probably going to be some kind of MS Frontpage idea… Why? Well, it’s build for designers, not developers… Frontend might look great, but what’s going to happen under the hood? In the example they showed us they showed a little MXML code which looked OK. But every single piece of image will be embedded into this file… You could end up with more than 40 PNG’s! Oh well, we’ll see what happens. It’s not before the end of 2008 that Adobe will release a public bèta. [...]

[...] Google defines Thermo as “Two bars or wires of dissimilar metals joined at one extremity which Couple develop a current (thermoelectric current) when heated.” I define it as a major accomplishment for Adobe that is reinventing the term “Deseloper“.
