Cocomo @ MAX

MAX San Francisco is quickly approaching, and it's one of the highlights of the year for project teams like Cocomo and Acrobat.com. Schedules get set in anticipation of the event, with BIG REVEALS planned and features added in support of the BIG REVEALS. Basically the last half of our year ends up viewed through MAX-colored glasses.

So, it's pretty much guaranteed that by the time we get to MAX, there will be new stuff worth talking about in the Cocomo world. If you check out the MAX session locator, you'll see 2 new Cocomo sessions listed there :

Real-Time Collaboration Apps with Flex and Cocomo

Explore Cocomo, Adobe's new Platform-as-a-Service for developing real-time, multiuser Flex applications. Learn how any Flex developer can use Adobe's services infrastructure to build stunningly rich real-time social apps, including robust data messaging and streaming live video and VoIP. In this session we'll be showing live coding with the Cocomo Flex SDK and Adobe's services. Bring a laptop and be ready to join in.

Cocomo Deep Dive: Building Social RIAs with Flex + Adobe Hosted Services

Learn to build your first multiuser Adobe AIR application using the new Cocomo Flex SDK. In this session, we'll walk you through the philosophy and design considerations of this new breed of application, all the way to the nuts and bolts of coding, debugging, and deploying it. Follow along as a real-time collaborative AIR app is built from scratch and deployed on stage. There will be code — bring a laptop!

The first session is going to be more of an overview, really highlighting the scope of functionality offered by Cocomo, along with a few simple sample apps to get the audience started. For the second session, we're choosing one big sample AIR app that ties a bunch of functionality together, and using it as a framing device for diving into some slightly more advanced topics. Both should be a lot of fun - multi-user apps are so much more interesting to build than single-user apps, "cloud computing" is a pretty hot topic these days, and you'll likely walk out of either session with something.. actually working.

So, go and register for these sessions early - we're hoping for full houses!
