Brief surveys about developing AIR apps

Related to our last post, we’re looking for some quick feedback on your experiences with developing AIR applications that use local files or a database. If you’ve already had some experience doing either, we’d love to get your feedback here:

Yes, I’ve created an AIR app that uses local files

Thanks!

Need participants for studies about AIR and Flex

Adobe is looking for participants for brief (~1 hour) online work observations/interviews. We’re offering $100 Amazon gift certificates to those selected to help us with these studies.

We’re exploring two areas of Flex and AIR application development:

  • Building AIR applications with Flex that use local files
  • Building AIR applications with Flex that use a database

Here’s the participant criteria for each:

Building AIR applications with Flex that use local files

  • Flex and ActionScript experience
  • New to Adobe AIR (you haven’t built an AIR application) or familiar with AIR but haven’t built an AIR application using local files

Building AIR applications with Flex that use a database

  • Flex and ActionScript experience
  • Experience writing SQL and building an application that uses a database (e.g. a PHP, J2EE, or ASP.NET application that uses a database)
  • New to Adobe AIR (you haven’t built an AIR application) or familiar with AIR but haven’t built an AIR application using a database

If you meet these requirements and would like to participate, please send an email to…

UPDATE 7/21/09- Thanks. We got a fantastic response to this request. Those selected are being contacted this week. We’ll be doing a second round of testing next quarter and we’ll contact those not selected for the first round. Thanks for the support!
