Time to develop some more RIA goodness. Adobe released Flex 3, BlazeDS and Air 1. Adobe has released Flex 3.0 and Air 1.0. Now building rich internet applications for the desktop should be easier. I am personally using Air to build a calculator (I know big whoop! but, at least it's something). Let's make some fun applications.

The evolution to more engaging RIAs has created the need for better data connectivity options. Remoting simplifies the reuse of existing server logic automatically marshalling calls between the Flash client and the Java methods on the server. In addition, the use of a AMF binary data transfer format increases performance, allowing applications to load data up to 10 times faster than with text-based formats such as XML or SOAP.
