Adobe MAX Chicago - Thermo
2 10 2007The 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!!
[...] Adobe code name: Thermo Since the start of our developing days, whether creating a website or application there has always been a gap between designers and developers. The back and forth can go on for awhile before the designer’s desired outcome is reached. This week in Chicago Adobe was holding their MAX conference where they showed an early preview of a tool code named Thermo. This tool’s goal is to bridge the designer/developer gap for Rich Internet Applications built in Flex. There have been several other attempts in other technologies to bridge the gap; it will be interesting to see how well this tool will perform. Peter Elst recorded the full demo at Max, and here it is. [...]
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.

[...] During the conference Adobe released new and highly anticipated versions of many of their software products, the most exciting for me being Flex Builder 3 Beta 2. They also demo’ed some prototype software they are working on for future release, such as an application called Thermo that allowed a developer to convert a designer’s comp into an actual front-end user interface with relative ease [here’s a video clip].

[...] you guys all got to see what I’ve been privy to for a little while - Thermo (Peter Elst recorded the session for those who missed it). The general response seems to be incredibly positive. And rightly so [...]
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
