Great new products announced: Macromedia Contribute 3, Macromedia FlashPaper 2 (now available as standalone product as well) and a complete new product named Macromedia Web Publishing System.
Note that you can already download preview trials of several of these products, cool stuff.

What shall I say, better late than never Updating the Remoting ActionScript library to the Flash Remoting AS 2.0 classes has been a very lengthy process for Macromedia. So I think everyone in and outside Macromedia is relieved that the stuff has finally been released.
By the way, there’s also a Remoting Connector Component included and some very […]

Macromedia does have a booth at CeBIT 2004. I have never been there myself, but from what I’ve heard it’s the worlds number one event for the ICT sector.
Macromedia is hosting many showcases and seminars which you should not miss, including a Flex preview. Macromedia’s CeBIT team has created a great Central application which is a […]

The press release still has to be published on the website, but the new Director MX 2004 product page is up and running already! I’m not a Director user myself but the biggies seem to be DVD Video support, JavaScript syntax (no worries, we have not dropped Lingo) and Flash MX 2004 and Flash Player 7 support.

Unfortunately I can only link to the DevNet Resource Kit home page since the DRK5 details have not been pushed live yet (expect them soon). Note that you can not […]

4 golden money tips; very humorous Flash video usage by the Rabobank in Belgium. With four funny videos - in which people got betrayed by a malicious financial advisor - they show you how important it is to have a decent financial advisor. (Dutch only, email with link sent to me by Al Noor)

Certified Developers Insight Application: Rebel from Daemon brought the Certificatied Developer Pages together in a Central application. This allows you to not only see the certified people by name, but also sorted by country (which is not possible on the Macromedia site). Very cool! If I remember it correct their are using ColdFusion to strip […]

During my latest public appearances I have shown a great RIA; a Conference Networking Tool for Oreilly. Till now I had no idea whether there is an online demo of this as welll (I have the complete app installed locally). Luckely, Macrofun blogged the URL that many of you have been asking me for: Intro […]

MAX, the 2003 Macromedia Conference, is around the corner. Like the previous years, this one is organized in the States (Salt Lake City). I know that many European developers did go to DevCon last year, despite the distance that they had to travel. Who from Europe (especially Benelux) has plans to go to MAX this […]

WebKlus.nl has written a great review of Flashtival 2003 (one of the events that kept me from blogging, I was too busy preparing them). Thanks to Owen van Dijk (who got a very high rating in this review, btw) for pointing me to it. So in case you wonder what you missed, you can read […]
