Adobe Releases Flex 2.0 Beta Products to the Developer Community

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the public beta of Adobe® Flex™ 2.0 product line and Adobe Flash® Player 8.5, the leading application development solution for delivering rich Internet applications. Developers everywhere now will be able to build next generation Web experiences that help organizations engage users more effectively, increase productivity, and deliver better business results.

“Over the last 10 years we have used many technologies to build rich Internet applications for our clients, including DHTML-based and AJAX techniques, but we always found ourselves having to sacrifice either developer productivity or the richness of the user experience,” said Dave Wolf, vice president at Cynergy Systems. “With Flex 2.0 and Flash Player 8.5, we can finally deliver the kinds of rich applications our clients demand without compromise. That’s Web 2.0!”

The Flex 2.0 product line provides developers with a powerful and extensible application framework, intuitive programming model, standards-based data integration, and a powerful Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) for application development and UI design. With an extensive component library, advanced data integration, and support for standard back-end server infrastructures, Flex 2.0 enables developers to build virtually any type of rich Internet application, from simple interactive sites, to rich data dashboards and portals, to data intensive enterprise applications.
