Read MoreAdobe Wallaby
Adobe recently released “Wallaby” via their labs website. This is a technology which converts Flash (.fla) files to HTML (HTML5). Of course, only modern browsers will be able to display the results (sorry IE 6, 7, and 8). The images rendered are SVG images (a fair number for shape tweens). […]
Read MoreSnowpocalypse
In honor of our major snow event starting today, I put together a little bit of Flash Actionscript code to generate even more snowflakes. It just populates a small array with one snowflake symbol which is re-sized and rotated and placed. I will be showing students in my CMWEB 225 […]

The ROME project is an interesting concept from Adobe. I have been working with it for some time. It is now in beta and can be accessed via http://rome.adobe.com/education/ (for the education version, drop the education part of the URL for the non-education version).

Read MoreAdobeMAX – why?
Last week, I traveled half way across the country, enduring incredibly cramped conditions on multiple aircraft, waited patiently at various airports in uncomfortable chairs and took valuable time away from my classes. I didn’t realize how little time I would have to reply to email last week and am faced […]

I started on Tuesday with another BYOL session (Bring Your Own Laptop). This one focused on building mobile applications with jQuery.

AdobeMAX began with the keynote by Kevin Lynch (“Welcome to the revolution”) which emphasized mobile as well as multi-screen environments (such as the digital living room). Gaming and Adobe’s acquisition of Day Content Management System were also covered. Some interesting points from the keynote included the prediction that bandwidth for […]
