There have been a lot of exciting things happening with Flex and Salesforce / Force.com lately. First Ryan Marples recently announced the release of an updated version of the Force.com Toolkit for Adobe AIR and Flex. If you are doing development with Flex and Salesforce or Force.com you should download this new release to take advantage of the latest enhancements to the web services APIs.
Today Adobe updated the Adobe Developer Connection’s page containing information about integrating Flex and Salesforce / Force.
This is the last of the RIA Cowboy Videos from Dreamforce 2008. In this one I interview Model Metrics about some of the things they are doing with Flex and Salesforce. Cool stuff!
Here’s another video from Dreamforce 2008. In this one I talk with Infowelders about their custom data visualizations built with Flex and the Force.com platform. Very cool stuff!
In this video from Dreamforce 2008, Cloud9 Analytics shows me their Flex-based Pipeline Management Suite for Salesforce.com.
In this video from Dreamforce 2008 PivotLink shows off their Flex-based SaaS BI product. Cool Stuff!
Here is another great video from Dreamforce 2008. This one is with Tier1CRM who is using Flex for a very compelling financial CRM system. Let me know what you think.
At Dreamforce 2008, Salesforce.com’s annual conference, I co-presented a session about integrating Adobe AIR and Flex with Force.com. A recording of that presentation is now available. Let me know what you think.
Tomorrow at 3:30 at Adobe MAX 2008 there will be a session on building rich Internet applications in the cloud using Salesforce and Adobe Flex. They will even be giving away a new Macbook! The combination of Flex and Force.com (the platform side of Salesforce) is a fantastic way to build RIAs in the cloud. If you are at MAX this is a session not to miss!
I’m here at day one of Dreamforce 2008, Salesforce.com’s annual conference. During Marc Benioff’s keynote they announced the new Force.com Sites technology for Salesforce hosted websites which can integrate with Salesforce data. At the end of the keynote Marc brought out Neil Young to talk about LincVolt, an open community for converting gasoline based cars to electric / compressed natural gas cars. It’s a very cool project but what I was really excited about was their use of Flex on the Force.
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ll be at Salesforce.com’s Dreamforce conference next week in San Francisco. On Tuesday I’ll be co-presenting a session on using Adobe AIR and Flex with Force.com. The rest of the time I’ll probably be in the developer lounge hacking on Flex code. Stop by and say hello!
