I’m really excited for this year’s Adobe MAX conference in LA. Â So much has happened since the last MAX I thought I’d do a quick recap: Apple reversed their 1.3.3 stipulation now allowing for apps to be created with third-party programs (such as Flash Pro and Flash Builder). A ton of Android tablets have been released as well as the BlackBerry PlayBook. Which Flash (Pro and Builder) can publish to all of these platforms. The […]

Read MoreFAQ's About Dreamweaver CS5.5
After travelling around the world on the Creative Suite Evolution Tour as well as presenting at various Adobe Camps, I’ve been getting a lot questions around Dreamweaver CS5.5. Rightfully so since it has some great features and improvements.  So I thought I’d compile the questions into one post. What is Dreamweaver? Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 is a web authoring and editing software that provides both visual and code-level capabilities for creating standards-based websites for the desktop, smartphones, tablets, […]

In this example, when you hover the mouse over the link, the background color […]

The impressive thing is the ability to have these different apps TALK TO EACH OTHER using a Peer to Peer connection. To truly see the power of it watch a video I created that […]

Read MoreMobile Flash Design/Development Workflow
Whether you’re a designer or developer, it’s an exciting time to get into mobile development. A relatively young industry that is full of potential and opportunity. But it does face the same challenges that other software development projects face, that of communication and workflow. Figure 9-1 pokes fun at communication and interpretation issues in a software project. The cartoon in isn’t a far cry from how many companies work. There can easily be a lack […]
