Oh yes, Macromedia. I was kind of disappointed when Macromedia was absorbed. That made only one graphic source, one monopoly. There are still a few bit players (Corell is still around?) but no serious competition. I guess keeping up with deploying the latest Flash client to every station and laptop has become a bit of an issue and Apples refusal to use it has made Flash a suspected product...Besides flash sites are not web searchable. So in summary it is good to see Adobe get on the program. Now if we can just get MS to stay on the wagon and not try to make preemptive changes to HTML5, life for web developers will be good. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Bartow Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 11:23 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Adobe is tentatively moving to HTML5 Hi Jim, (Nit-picking: Adobe didn't create Flash, they bought it.) I was kind of surprised that they didn't integrate it directly into Flash's UI but I guess the hardcore Adobe staff probably took advantage of the situation to rid themselves of a lot of editorial comments such as: "Macromedia made it but they just bought it and they've just modified it to look like an Adobe product". ;o) John B -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 12:58 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Adobe is tentatively moving to HTML5 It looks like Adobe, the staunch supporter and creator of Flash, has now tentatively embraced HTML5. For those interested you can download their (beta) version of their new applications call "Adobe Edge Preview" at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_edge There is also a number of samples and documentation available.
