Sanative Sponsors Northern California Flex and AIR Pre-release with Adobe's Ryan Stewart

Flex 3 and AIR are getting close to launch and in preparation, Ryan Stewart from the Adobe Flex/AIR product team is traveling to select cities to show off the great new features and help prepare us for this exciting launch. Ryan Stewart will be in Sacramento to speak on January 23rd at 6:30 PM.

Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.

Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, extending rich applications to the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write desktop applications using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.

Read more about the event, and RSVP, at the NorCal Flex User Group website. All are welcome, the event is casual and there will be food and drink provided by Adobe and Sanative!

Sanative Develops Desktop Widget for LiveCoordinator.com

Sanative has launched a desktop application utilizing Adobe® AIR for LiveCoordinator.com. Live Coordinator, which launches later this month, is an integrated communication solution for real estate transactions. It allows all team members who work together in completing a transaction to coordinate and communicate more efficiently than ever before.

Sanative worked with the Live Coordinator team to develop the widget based on an existing AJAX application. Using the Live Coordinator widget, a user can receive status updates directly on their desktop, in real-time. Home buyers and sellers will now be able to know what is going on with the escrow process every step of the way, as it happens. This unique capability is something not done before, and Sanative is excited to be part of the process.

Since the application is built utilizing Adobe AIR, the application will run seamlessly on Windows or Mac, and, very soon, Linux desktops as well. The application will automatically upgrade as new versions are released, removing confusion from the upgrade process for Live Coordinator users. Since the core of the application is based on AJAX technology, the LiveCoordinator development team does not need to have any knowledge of Adobe AIR. Updating their existing AJAX widget also updates the core components of the desktop widget. This unique capability lowers the cost of supporting a desktop widget for Live Coordinator.

Take a peek at Live Coordinator and see how the Internet is changing real estate and mortgage industries!
