[IxDA Discuss] Adobe Thermo

[pauric]

For me, the killer feature for any designer orientated app in the
toolchain is the ability to generate succinct legible code thats easy
for a developer (or designer) to debug.  

>From the MacWorld article: "Designers using Thermo don%u2019t have
to write code for their applications, but they can choose to view the
source code and see it in a Flex Builder editor that they can work
with if they want to"

Making note of this ability a year out from release hints to me that
this will be a key aspect of the app.

Concern.. assuming there will be pattern libraries for such apps. 
This will enable more intuitive designers out of the closet but does
not, nor should it, provide you with magic UCD skills.  The same way
anyone with a copy of Photoshop can make a digital photo look pretty
and make them feel like a professional without having to read up on
what it takes to take professional photos.
