The cat is finally out of the bag, we’ve heard lots of rumors about Thermo and in today’s keynote at Adobe MAX Chicago we saw it in action. Thermo is an amazing RIA design tool that does an exceptional job of moving from a design in Photoshop to a functional application in Flex, complete with dummy data and interaction.
I managed to record the complete demo this morning so be sure to check it out below!

w00t!
This is just brilliant!
Thanks. Could you put up a downloadable video? The flash player doesn’t allow fast forward or jumping back and forth.
I can’t wait till this thing is going to be released because this is what I have been looking for the last 5 years…
Keep up the good work Adobe
This is the missing link between design and development.
Will it also generate (x)HTML / CSS?

Every time new wonderful product! Good work Adobe!
ant thenx to Peter for video!
I was hoping that this would be part of fireworks as it seemed that was the way it was headed (for rapid RIA development), still a nice app though.
Amazing!! What would really blow me out would if one can reload the photoshop file and it would regenerate everything according to the layer names, applying all the changes on the layers. Just great!!

Microsoft has an Expression suite of designer tools for Silverlight and WPF (Blend 2 for Silverlight is in beta). It uses XAML as a common “full-fidelity” format enabling developers (with Visual Studio) and designers to participate together to implement rich interactive applications/user experiences.

wow, thank’s alot for the video.
This is a great product for integrating design and development work. It’s a little disappointing, though, to hear developers cream themselves over some of the tool’s behaviour such as data/function binding which has been around for more than ten years in other dev environments. What is most impressive is the ability to build UI components from traditional interface design documents. I might have missed it, but did the presenters specify whether tools other than PS can be used? eg In Design?
Jengo.
has anyone heard when this is to fully launch?
Adobe all the way!This is incredible, code + design, this is what we call visual programming made easy!
Great work!

Thanks for the video,
I am really looking forward to use “Thermo” and create interactive wireframes!!!
It will break the barriers between designers and software developers :)
Hi, great vid. Adobe showed that there is nothing imposible again!
Oh, great idea! Interesting
