Have you heard of Thermo??

Adobe Thermo, a new product built for designers to work in conjunction with another Adobe product, Flex, is slated to come out this Fall. Thermo is supposed to give designers the ability to create Rich Internet Application UI’s, from a designer perspective, without having knowledge of code. Thermo’s purpose is to allow a designer to apply motion and effects to their artwork to give the developers a better idea of what a specific item is supposed to do.

The hype around Thermo is undeniable, but will it live up to its expectations? One of the biggest concerns about Thermo is its ability to produce clean, useful code. If the code is messy and ill formated, how useful will this be to the development process really?

I guess we will not know a definitive answer to this question until the release of Thermo, slated for later on this year. I will be at the top of the list of those downloading their free trial- until then, we will wait patiently!
