SDK Release Frenzy

This morning felt like an early Christmas for some developers. For Flex Developers, Beta 3 of Flex 3 was released today, along with Beta 3 of Adobe AIR. This was hinted to at last week’s Flex Camp Boston (actually all they said was “wait until 12/12″, but I think anyone who had been following Flex knew what they meant). This means we’re one step closer to the release of AIR 1.0 and Flex 3.

Also released today was the release version of XNA Game Studio 2.0, which marks the first release use of the Windows Live and XBox Live on the XBox 360 for the casual developer. This new version also works with alternative editions of Visual Studio 2005 other than the Express version. Hopefully this will invite more commercial developers and help push the platform further.

All in all, I really don’t know which to program first tonight!
