Adobe Edge - My First JQuery/HTML5 Application

So I downloaded Adobe Edge a few days ago and installed it yesterday.  Within ten minutes I was able to create a simple animation with almost no coding.  Adobe Edge Preview 3 literally blew us away in the first few minutes by allowing the creation of JQuery and HTML/CSS animations using a WYSIWYG editor environment.

To see this again, just hit "reload".  Note that the JavaScript files are located on a remote server.  This could result in a slower loading.  The total size of all files to build the animation above is only 191 KB.  The source code for this is clean, elegant and nicely formatted.

The Edge Preview release APIs are also documented online at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/resources/jsapi.html.  I feel like I need a good project now to fully test Edge in a production environment.  Any ideas?

Adobe Edge Explained

Adobe's push into HTML5 has been around for a long time.  On top of participating in the actual standards development effort to move the web forward, Adobe has been building some of the first major implementations of HTML5 authoring tools.  Given the adoption of any technology is inversely related to the complexity to use it, Adobe Edge represents a great potential for people to author complex HTML5/JQuery/CSS and AJAX applications.

This blog explains the recent changes of the newer release and some great tips on how to use it.  As a former standards guy, I love this direction!
