Come join us for "The battle for control of the future of computing” debate at
7 PM (PST/GMT +8) on Thursday, February 12 in the Bronco Student
Center (Ursa Minor) at California State Polytechnic University in
Pomona. Microsoft Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. will present their
contenders for whose technologies will dominate. Adobe (maker of
Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver) is encouraging developers to create
media-rich desktop computer applications that operate independently of
the Internet through its Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). Microsoft
wants developers to create media-rich applications that can be used
online through its Silverlight technology.
Sam Stokes, academic developer/evangelist at Microsoft Corporation and
Kevin Hoyt, platform evangelist at Adobe will represent the two sides.
The free event is sponsored by the Interactive Web Development Student
Association, the Computer Information Systems department in the
College of Business Administration and the Inland Empire ColdFusion
User Group and will be streamed live over the Internet. Pizza,
refreshments and a free drawing for multimedia software will be
provided.
