This is an old post, but it just popped up on my feeds. Dave McAllister, one of Adobe’s open source gurus, has a post about all the various ways Adobe uses Ajax and encourages it. It’s well worth a read and I think it illustrates the direction we’re hoping to go. I’ve had my own love-hate relationship with Ajax but with the AIR launch and getting over my insecurities with Flash, I’m excited about what we’ll be able to do with Ajax.

Adobe is a web company and despite what some of the open standard crowd thinks, we genuinely want to help move the web forward and put more power/creativity/richness into the hands of web developers. That’s one thing AIR does very well. I also hope we see more Ajax-Flash interaction. Using the technologies together can be great and it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Making it easy for web developers to incorporate both will make for better experiences which is what Adobe is all about.
