This week, Adobe has released the first version of Flex Builder for Linux operating system. It was a relatively new product concept, install as a plugin version and developers can use it to build the Flex applications on the Linux platform. Right from the beginning, Flex Builder was positioned as a cross platform and open source framework that helped developers to create Web applications. Realizing the difficulty in create the Flex UI (user interface) and due to the fact that the majority number of designers encountered the issues on designer/developer workflow, Adobe also developed another software, i.e. Thermo. It is still in the Adobe labs, and the main differentiator among the different products that Thermo offered is “the ease of use” feature. There are great examples can be found on this Thermo page, as one can easily convert an artwork into a working component and MXML file will be converted, according to this software and this is particularly useful for those who develop the front-end of a Web application.
