As API’s become standard in every reputable product in the market, we wanted to dedicate a webinar that looked deep into what Adobe has to offer in this space. We invited our own Adobe experts, Jerry and JP, and Adobe’s Senior Evangelist, Jeff Chasin to unpack the topic of Adobe I/O and Project Firefly. This was a special one indeed because it blended the business use cases with a hands-on demo and the outcome was a lot of ideas!

We encourage you to watch the recording especially the parts where Jeff jumps into demoing his own Firefly App.
