The app I decided to review this week is Adobe Ideas and it’s for both the iPhone as well as the iPad and it’s free.
Adobe® Ideas is your digital sketchbook, letting you capture and explore ideas anywhere you go. Adobe Ideas is an ideal companion for the professional design applications from Adobe, including Adobe Illustrator® and Adobe Photoshop®. Now with a new in-app purchase option, you can get up to 10 drawing layers plus a photo layer for each sketch as well as layer transformations – move, rotate and scale each layer.
Sketch design concepts while sitting in a cafe, capture and store color themes while browsing through the photos on your phone, or jot down notes on a photo. Any time you need to explore creative ideas, Adobe Ideas is there with you.
Here’s a short demo:
Got a cool app you want reviewed or one you really like you want to share – let us know!

I figured if Apple can do their “App of the Week” then so can one of the eGeeks and since Ed is such a big fan of the iPad I figured I’d jump in and start sharing out of my 332 apps so far which I think are really cool. So to quick it off I decided to go with one of the newest ones that has a practical purpose as well (not just fun).
The app is called Air Sketch, the free version and I’m debating the paid version for $7.99.
Turn your iPad into a wireless whiteboard! Project live sketches to a local computer.
Just fire up Air Sketch on the iPad and open the specified URL from any HTML5 compatible browser on another computer on the local network to see your sketches in real-time as you draw. There’s no additional client software to install. Use Air Sketch at home, the office, or even with a friend’s laptop.
Tip: You can also find the link in Desktop Safari’s Bonjour bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks menu ? Bonjour.
Connect your laptop to a projector to sketch wirelessly to a big screen, even while walking around the room.
Incorporate the iPad into your desktop-based workflow: Record videos of your live Air Sketch drawings, or share them live with remote colleagues via any online meeting or desktop sharing software (such as iChat or WebEx).
Air Sketch supports any HTML5-compatible browser, including Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome, and even another iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch!
You can even use Air Sketch peer-to-peer with a computer via an ad-hoc network when a WiFi hotspot is unavailable (see our blog for the quick how-to).
Note: Air Sketch is designed to work with a computer connected to the same local network as your iPad.
The app is from a company called Qrayon.
I captured a small video of me using the app, have a look.
I really think the app has a lot of potential at events and classroom settings and as such could find it’s way into a corporate boardroom or conference room as a useful tool what do you think?

With the recent release of the ABAP 7.02 trial edition, many people might be looking for good learning materials and demos to try out all the new functionality available in this release level. In this blog I try to collect some of these sources.
SCN Content
One of your first stops after installing the ABAP 7.02 trial (or if you are looking for something to read during the installation process), should be the new functions and features page here on SCN. It does a nice job of summarizing the high level feature areas and give you an excellent starting point to perform further research.
There have also been several blogs released in the last week, all focused on the 7.02 ABAP topic and of the things you can try in 7.02 once you have the trial installed.
All of these provide great starting points, particularly for learning new ABAP syntax or workbench capabilities.
Although not directly SCN hosted, it’s probably important to note that the 7.02 version of help.sap.com is now live. I personally find the New Features section of the online help useful when learning the delta features. For example if you want an overview of the new functionality in Web Dynpro ABAP in 7.02, here is the link you should start with on help.sap.com.
TechEd 2010
TechEd was also a great source of information on the new features in ABAP 7.02. Don’t forget that many of the sessions were recorded and can be viewed at any time. These sessions can be viewed here: http://www.virtualsapteched.com/
Particularly on the topic of new features you want to learn about in this trial, you might watch the replays of CD105 – What’s New in Web Dynpro ABAP 7.01 and 7.02 and CD203 – Best Practices for Designing Web Dynpro ABAP User Interface.
If you attended TechEd this year, you might have noticed that we didn’t give out the source code to the attendees for many of the usual workshops. This was mostly because the source code was based upon NetWeaver 7.02 and without a trial edition at that release level yet, it wouldn’t do anyone much good. Thankfully we now have the 7.02 trial, so we have started uploading some of the code to the SAP Code Exchange.
I have created a Code Exchange project to house transports that can be imported into the 7.02 to deliver some of the demos and exercises we used at TechEd: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/groups/sap-teched-2010-abap-702-examples-and-demo
Currently I have uploaded the content from CD160 – Introduction to Web Dynpro ABAP, CD105 – What’s New in Web Dynpro ABAP 7.01 and 7.02, CD203 – Best Practices for Designing Web Dynpro ABAP User Interfaces, and CD266 – Update Your ABAP Development Skills to NetWeaver 7.0 and Beyond.
If you access the Code Exchange project and go to the Releases tab (after accepting the Terms of Usage), you will see individual download files. Each contains ABAP transport files for the various areas covered. There is a file for all the CD266 Exercises and the CD160 exercises. There are also transports for the various demos, such as the performance demos used in CD203 or the Flash Islands and Silverlight Islands demoed in CD105.
If you need any general advice on how to import transports into the trial edition ABAP AS, I would recommend this blog: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/6380. Its a little bit older now and focused on an early release level, but the overall process of performing transports is sound.
SAP Press Book
If you are interested in the 7.02 features for ABAP development, then (at the risk of some self promotion) I would also recommend the new SAP Press book – Next Generation ABAP Development 2nd Edition, which is scheduled to begin shipping in early January. This new edition of the book was extended and revised specifically to cover the new features in ABAP development in NetWeaver 7.01 and 7.02. For example, the syntax all throughout the book has been updated to include the new statement chaining and extended expressions possible in NetWeaver 7.02. There are also completely new topics like Business Objects integration, BRF+, Page Builder, Islands, etc.
The book also comes with a CD that contains the source code of all the projects discussed in the book – source code that you can now actually install and run thanks to the recent release of the 7.02 trial edition.
UPDATED: For a limited time you can use discount code NEXTGENABAP to get a 10% discount on the book when you order from the SAP Press website.

On Day 2, we sat down with SAP CIO Oliver Bussmann to discuss the strategy, joys, and pressures of supporting the SAP IT infrastructure as well as setting the example to others as an SAP Customer. Mr. Bussmann is also active on Twitter, so you can check him out as @sapcio.
“Bussmann has a proven track record in his career spanning nearly 20 years in IT management. Most recently, he was regional CIO of Allianz for North America and Mexico (NAFTA). His prior roles include positions in the Allianz Group in Germany and the United States, as well as at Deutsche Bank. He began his career at IBM in Frankfurt, Germany, where he was responsible for the retail banking division.
As CIO of SAP AG, Bussmann will be based at the company’s headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. Bussmann holds a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Muenster, Germany, and has been a member of the BITS advisory council, a not-for-profit financial service industry consortium made up of 100 of the largest financial institutions in the U.S., since 2007.”
