Adobe Labs: Thermo

by Jerome Locson on January 17th, 2008

It’s weekend and time for me to check something new from Adobe Labs. Now, I will introduce you to an upcoming Adobe product code-names “Thermo”. Thermo will aid developers yo create user-interface for rich Internet applications.

The designer’s work can be incorporated directly into the production application with no loss of fidelity, and designers can continue to refine the design throughout the iterative development process.

Here are its key features:

  • Use drawing tools to create original graphics, wireframe an application design, or manipulate artwork imported from Adobe Creative Suite tools.
  • Turn artwork from Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks directly into functional components that use the original artwork as a “skin”.
  • Define and wire up interactive behavior, such as what to do when a user clicks on something, without having to write code.
  • Easily design UIs that work with dynamic data, such as a list of contacts or product information, without having access to the actual data source. Design-time sample data can be used as a realistic placeholder when laying out an application, testing interactivity, and choreographing motion.

So, stay tuned for more Adobe Thermo updates soon!
