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.

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.
WOW. I know how to code Flex stuff, but this could save TONS of time. This is really sweet.
thank you so much for all the effort you are doing for the community to cover the keynotes !! At least I own you a DUVEL beer
THANKS FOR SHARE!!!
That last part is just amazing…. I want to see more!
Thermo panels reminds me the Apple Motion’s panel, which is nice..
Aral thanks for sharing all this MAX stuff..
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.
As a flash developer myself i’m excited for thermo! Very interesting!
Thanks Aral, this is much appreciated. Hope the rest of the conference goes well.
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!
Quentin.
Great to see these talks from Max, shouldn’t Adobe be putting their talks up in some Flex or AIR app or something. Sure they are missing something there!
I would hope this would CSS-based. I wasn’t sure since I thought, in the demo, I saw a font size=1 type of tag.
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: 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.
so much for xhtml/css… this is the future of web design!
不知他生成的代码质量怎么样，很想亲手试试~
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.
OMG, Thermo rocks!
Thanks for all the video Aral. Thermo really looks awesome and I can’t wait to mess around with it.
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.
I´m willing when is Adobe launching the Beta of Thermo.
Do you know something about it Aral?
Thanks a lot!
it’s so………….C..O..O..L!
i repost it in my blog
太帅了。貌似flex都是在给大家练手哦
Hi Fernando,
Unfortunately, I’m not able to publicly comment on such things until such time as they are announced by Adobe.
@Liwei: Cool!
Great integrating approach between designers and developers. Would have loved to see more of that in Microsofts Expression Suite, which seems to target a similar audience, however by far not being as usable as Thermo.
Yeah, this thermo really cool… i can’t to mes around with this new stuff… Rocks!
Aral, cool…!
1. About the performance of the page designed : time taken to display on web
2. Test version : when the trail version wil be availabe
3. PSD files : If i am goingto update the PSD file will the thermo part also be updated.
