Daniel R.

The last session was a collection of quick demos from the speakers and audience members. My apologies in advance if I missed your contact information.

Todd Prekaski (audience): Demoed a photo album builder application. Allows pulling in pictures from the local file system. Has some integration with Flickr and zoomr (wasn't completely clear on what that functionality was). Has random photo placement mode for viewing a collection of pictures. Has ability to email collection to contacts. Hopes to add online synchronization to pull down additional image presentation components (stylized borders, filters, etc.). Tool also supports photo resizing, rotation, and other simple effects.

Daniel Dura: TwitterAIRCamp is a way to do a nice public presentation of Twitter data. If you want to get in on the fun onairbustour is the Twitter name.

Salsa created by Christian Cantrell. Application that does drag and drop file uploading/downloading to Amazon S3.

Johnny Boursiquot (audience) from Pier: Business value calculator being used by companies like HP. Goal is to make sales people mobile and allow offline ROI value calculations. It uses Flex charts, graphs, and HTML output (will switch to PDF when supported). Took approach of what is the business value of AIR. Primary reasons for going with the platform included: way to extend backend service onto the desktop, easy to update, and online integration allows robust security model.

Kevin Hoyt demoed some more applications from Adobe labs. He created an AIR version of MapCache. Allows saving maps, copy to clipboard, and drag and drop. Rendering an HTML version. Mentioned source is on his site.

Geocode allowing geo tagging an image by dragging it onto the map. Still working on this application. Again an HTML/JavaScript application. It handles such activities as copying images, extracting thumbnails, and displaying the images in the UI. Makes heavy use of asynchronous events to do it on the fly without hanging the UI.

Kevin also ported a version of Ted Patrick's AIR Chat to HTML/JavaScript. The application uses Amazon EC2, running Python socket server, to provide simple chat services. The port uses the Ext JS Framework. HTML version is not posted yet.

Mike Chambers: Is a World of Warcraft player and uses Wowhead to track game information. Wrote an AIR wrapper around Wowhead. It is an always on top window that allows typing in a search term and launching the results in a browser window.

Hubble: Geo tagging image uploader for Flickr. Shows where images are located on the map. Nice UI to geo tag and upload. Can drag image onto map to tag it with drop location. He mentioned that the application is fairly buggy right now.

GeoPlotter: Show a Yahoo map and you can plot any latitude longitude pair on the map. Supports ability to drag a data file of way points and plot them all on the map. Most of his code is on Google code.

Ascension: One of the first AIR applications. It is an MP3 player and way to explore your music. Supports importing your music from iTunes, grabbing album art of Amazon, and displaying lyrics from lyricwiki. Has ability to display a slide show of images from Flickr that match the artist's name.
