Wipe that HTML off your app this minute, young man!

You've got terrific ColdFusion apps, but that HTML front end is so 1999. Your users need something far more, well, useable. Business applications deserve richness too, after all. So this session will show you how to start with your existing business logic, then take it to the next level with a rich Flex user interface. Then, just when your users are holding a parade in your honor, take the same logic to create a desktop version with the AIR runtime. You’ll be dragging and dropping to the desktop and interacting with the OS in no time. We’ll show you that Flex and AIR are 1) not difficult, 2) able to be adopted in stages (no need to throw out your whole app and start again with Flex), and 3) a great compliment to your existing ColdFusion applications.
