That’s right. Adobe Edge is now Adobe Edge Animate to more correctly reflect what it can be used for. But it is more than just that. It is a powerful, intuitive tool for creating stunning animated and interactive content using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. It’s great because content made with Edge Animate runs gracefully on mobile devices and desktops, expanding your reach on the modern web.
Just download Adobe Edge Animate preview 7 and from there I encourage you to watch the quick video series I’ve just created to get you up and running fast.
You can even download the same assets used in the video.
