The RIA universe is ever expanding

Once again, apologies for being quiet for so long on this blog. But there is so much exciting stuff going on right now that I had to stop for a second and make sure I shared the news with anyone who reads this blog, just in case you didn't hear about this anywhere else.

First, earlier today, O'Reilly and Adobe launched a new site called InsideRIA.com. This new community site covers all things RIA, including Flex, Flash, AIR, and AJAX. Rich Tretola is the editor and Andre Charland is the lead blogger. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Secondly, in the past few months, we've expanded the Adobe team that works with the development community. Specifically, we've added three new team members to spend a lot of time supporting Adobe RIA developers. The team is comprised or Raghu Rao, Anirudh Sasikumar, and Sujit Reddy Gurrala. All of them have great blogs, so you may want to pay them a visit. And if you haven't seen them online responding to technical questions on the wide range of forums and lists, then I'm sure you soon will.

Lastly, if you haven't heard about it already, the Adobe evangelism and product teams are hitting the road, bring the latest news about AIR and Flex to user group near you. The tour is underway already but there are a lot more events coming up. Check out the schedule at http://flex.org/tour/

Adobe Developer Library - from O'Reilly

I'm guessing that most developers have, at some point in time, had at least one O'Reilly book on their desk. And its probably right by your computer, serving as one of your primary references to help you build great applications. I know many developers swear by O'Reilly titles as the best in business.

You may have seen some of the early work of a relatively new partnership between O'Reilly and Adobe, but you may not have realized how many great books are out there.

Now, you can check out the Adobe Developer Library Store on O'Reilly.com to see whats available. I've also listed some of the titles below.
