Quoted on Cnet.com

The AIR Application that I built for Disney and presented at Adobe’s MAX2007 conference was quite a hit. I was interviewed about it by Martin LaMonica from Cnet. Read his full coverage at www.news.com:8301-10784_3-9789007-7.html

Or you can see just the important part where he quotes me :)

That covers a lot of what a developer needs to build applications, said Josh Bloom, a design technologist at Frog Design, which helped design and write the Disney travel application.

In this case, he picked Flex Builder, Adobe’s development tool, to write the application and used Flash as well. Frog Design takes advantage of Microsoft user interface tools, which he said are more complete.

“You can be a full Web developer and have access to the desktop (with AIR) which you didn’t have access to before,” Bloom said.

Oh and as a correction to the article, what I actually said is that the Microsoft stack for desktop development is more complete. Not the user interface tools.
