Flash Builder 4 demo: Dashboard with Google App Engine – built in 10 mins

6 comments

Yay! Adobe Flash Builder 4 & Adobe Flash Catalyst beta’s are out!  Adobe Flash Builder is the next generation of Adobe Flex Builder with a whole set of new features while Adobe Flash Catalyst (erstwhile known as Thermo) which is a interaction design tool (It can convert a photoshop or an illustrator file into a functional flex app :) Download & try out the beta bits at Adobe Labs.

I am specifically kicked about the new Data Centric Development features (DCD) of Flash builder. Simple drag & drop – wizard work flows now makes connecting to a back end simpler than anything you have done before using Flex.

I am sure all of us would have seen the flex dashboard application (in case you haven’t, see it here :) )

With the Adobe Flash Builder 4 beta, A dashboard application which connects to a Google App Engine back end with interactive drill down can be built in 10 minutes (yeah, 10 minutes. Actually lesser if I am not talking :) )

Now, the interesting part – I have  two part video which demonstrates the building of this app using Flash builder with a few drag and drops and minimal coding. The completed app just has 100 lines of code (including line breaks). now, isn’t that cool?
