code::XtremeApps::2008
It’s hard not to notice the efforts that Adobe is pushing in the local community recently. So here’s one more that adds to that list. 
This year’s code::XtremeApps:: is focused on extending RIAs for use on the desktop through using the recently out-of-beta Adobe AIR. Get into teams of 1-3 now and register for this 24-hour round-the-clock coding competition!
Fret not if you have not used Adobe AIR before, as training sessions will be provided. Furthermore, there’s still plenty of time till then to get your feet wet with it. 
If you feel the adrenaline rush and can’t wait to find out more about Adobe AIR, there’s a great article, Get up to speed on Adobe AIR, in this month’s Adobe Edge Newsletter.
Register early to avoid disappointment. 
More information about this competition can be found here and here.
