It is not easy to find a framework that provides fast performance, supports the majority of platforms and provides a fun and productive workflow. You really can have your cake and eat it too.

Using a mirror of the Flash API, NME makes it possible to target Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, webOS, Flash and HTML5 from the same code. Unlike "universal" runtimes, NME applications are native for each platform, making it possible to out-perform most other solutions.

Come and learn how the Haxe programming language and open-source NME framework work together to allow easy and reliable development across almost every major platform, and how they can help you accomplish your next great idea.
