As many of you know, my notebook fried (or baked, or grilled, or something like that) in Houston on the way to MAX 2003. Fortunately, the hard drive was fine, and so Macromedia IT dug up a similar machine and dropped my hard drive in it so that I'd have something to use. Last night I received my...
MAX is heading to Tokyo, Japan. DevCon Tokyo last year was an incredible success, and I have every reason to believe that MAX (February 19-20, 2004) will be too. I am not sure exactly what I'll be presenting there yet, but if you're in that part of the world, I hope to see you there. Details are at...
Guess where I am ... anyone? ... Houston, and once again I am waiting for a flight because I missed my connection. Ok, in all fairness it is not Houston's fault this time, well, not entirely. My flight leaving Salt Lake City this morning left an hour late (some sensor had frozen, you'd think they'd...
We hosted a "sneak peak" session yesterday afternoon here at MAX, engineers from all the product teams (in bee costumes, don't ask) used the opportunity to showcase cool stuff they were working on (stuff that may, or may not) make it into future products. Mike Nimer presented for the ColdFusion...
I am collecting pictures and video of the MAX 2003 Day 1 Keynote (the first morning when I presented), stuff taking by attendees in the audience. If you have anything you can share please comment, thanks.
Lots of the impromptu chats I have been having here at MAX have been focused on Flex, and specifically how it relates to ColdFusion. So, no, Flex is not a ColdFusion killer, it is not even a ColdFusion competitor. The truth is that I don't think we've done an adequate job yet of articulating the...
Finally, a few minutes of blogging time ... MAX 2003 has been a blast thus far - there is incredible excitement, attendees seem excited and enthusiastic, the facilities are great, and everyone seems to be having fun. That's a good thing. The Day 2 keynote was hilarious, our very own Tim Buntel and...
During this morning's MAX 2003 keynote I announced that the next major version of ColdFusion is in the works, the product is codenamed "Blackstone". I also listed the high level themes for this future product, and just so things are clear, this is the text from the slide I showed: Key themes for...
What an adventure (and I use that term somewhat loosely). There are no non-stop flights from Detroit to Salk lake City, and so my flight Monday was on Continental via Houston. I arrived in Houston as did a major storm system (complete with torrential rain, lightning storms, tornado warnings, and...
It's official, the product formerly known by the codename "Royale" will be named "Macromedia Flex". Flex is a standards based server product that allows developers to build rich user experiences all in code (in an XML based language). Flex is designed to leverage existing and standards based...
