Everybody knows about Flash, the technology that powers loads of video sites and is usually used in ‘flashy’ photography sites.

It’s not really known as an enterprise platform, so why have they partnered with salesforce.com and their force.com platform? Well, for a while, Adobe have been pushing flash in a more enterprisey direction.

With sites and the force.com platform, salesforce.com has been moving in the opposite direction, allowing companies to create public facing websites on the Force.com platform. You could say that they have met in the middle.

Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com seems to be a combination of Eclipse, the Force.com eclipse plugin, the Flash(/Flex) Builder plugin and a souped up version of the Flex/Air Actionscript library.

Anyway, a salesforce.com backend with a flash UI is very exciting.
