  • Sneak peek: the next version of DW

    Alejandro Guttierez shows off one of the main new features in the next version of Dreamweaver.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/04/nextgendreamweaver.html
    By the way, if you plan to attend Adobe MAX, I am presenting a 90-minute hands-on lab diving into the detail of how to use the new CSS Designer panel. The lab will be presented twice at 2.45pm on Monday, 6 May, and at 11am on Wednesday, 8 May.
    The blog post also confirms what I have suspected for a long time: server behaviors will be removed from the next version. They'll still be available as an extension, so existing users aren't left in the lurch. But the message is clear: start thinking of alternatives.

    Just removing the server behaviours without replacing them with something more up-to-date its NOT very forward thinking of Adobe. The server behaviours IS or WAS a massive reason to use Dreamweaver.
    I have no idea whether Adobe plans to replace server behaviors with something more up to date. What I do know is that the forum dedicated to developing server-side applications in Dreamweaver has become less and less active in the past year or so. Maybe that's because people who don't want to write their own code rely on the more sophisticated offerings of extension developers, such as WebAssist and DMX Zone, who have their own forums. However, if I used those extensions my main concern would be that, as far as I know, they're dependent on the deprecated mysql functions.
    Working with a database doesn't necessarily involve writing a lot of code. There are several powerful PHP frameworks, all of them free, that do all the hard lifting for you. When I wrote Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source, only one chapter was devoted to using server behaviors. The book was published by Adobe Press, and with Adobe's full knowledge and approval, it concentrated on using Zend Framework 1. It also showed how to use WordPress in Dreamweaver. I think the rise of WordPress played a similar role in the fate of server behaviors as jQuery played in the decision to cease investing in Spry.
    If WordPress is too much like a sledgehammer, an alternative is Perch. It's not free, and it requires a separate licence for each website, but it has an excellent reputation. It's developed and maintained by Drew McLellan and his wife, Rachel Andrew, two very talented web developers (they're Brits, too). I don't have any affiliation with them. I've just heard lots of good things about them and Perch.
    Sure David I hear what you're saying BUT Wordpress is too clumsy for the client to use simply. It's far too easy to add a myriad of extentions which could break the website design. Every time Wordpress is released you need to upgrade with it. It has security risks as far as I know. It's certainly not soemthing that I would touch after having given it a run out, several times. The whole package is really messy in my view and you're less in control of the process. Coding is King.
    Yes, Perch is much better and simpler but is still quite restrictive, I've used that too. I've just finished a website which as far as I'm concerned required a bespoke CMS. Not only that if you write the code, or most of it, you have full control and knowledge in the event of something which stops working......at least I have a chance of sorting out the problem them. Totally relying on 3rd party products or extentions you have zero chance UNLESS you're some kind of code wizard which you arent going to be if youre using Wordpress or Perch.
    I think the reason why there is less and less activity in the forum you mentioned is that many have moved away from using the DW server behaviours (php is the most popular server language by far) BUT Adobe have sat on their backside and missed the boat prefering to concentrate on rather lame updates.
    I'm sure your right about WebAssist and DMX Zone whose extention MUST be compatibale with the Dreamweaver ones. I guess its over to them to come up with something that replaces the ones in Adobe as they themselves are highly unlikley to do it themselves.
    For me its a question of I have now got to go and learn some of the new sqli which on the outset seems a lot more streamlined than the functional crap DW was writting anyway.

  • Sneak Peek #3 about the future of Photoshop: dashed and dotted lines

    Zorana Gee shared another Photoshop Sneak Peek, this time about dashed and dotted lines:
    Could it be useful in your workflow?

    I think dotted and dashed lines with gradients sounds useful. I won't have to go to Illustrator and back to get those functions.
    BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
    I would like to see some other upgrades to the pen tool and vector masks:
    • All too often I can't really see the pen tool line when I am making a vector selection – it gets lost in the clutter. Could there be an option to assign a color to the path? Hot green or magenta?
    • I would like to be able to change the size that vector points display. If I could make the points appear slightly larger it would often make editing easier.
    • I would like to be able to select two points very close to one another and JOIN them like in AI. I don't understand why the pen tool doesn't share more of the functions of the pen tool in Illustrator such as CUT. It sometimes seems like the vector tools in Photoshop and Illustrator were developed completetly independent of one another.
    Attached (I hope) are images demonstrating how hard it can be to see paths. Can you see the paths? In the first image the path is there, not selected. In the second the path is selected. This makes my work very irritating sometimes.

  • Did you see the InDesign CS6 Sneak Peek ?

    Okay, it's not certain that every shown feature will make it into CS6, but isn't it a lovely future ?
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2011-sneak-peeks/max-2011-sneak-peek-indesign-liquid-layout/
    This stuff will change the landscape of desktop, web and tablet publishing software - again.

    for a webdesigner, It's a no-brainer.
    a change in the way we receive (and distribute fonts on our local network)
    might change our feeling to licence fonts.

  • Lots of goodies seen at the Adobe RoboHelp STC sneak peeks

    In three different sessions at the STC conference in
    Minneapolis I saw pre-beta demonstrations of RoboHelp "next".
    Certainly there's a mind-boggling number of new features. But more
    than that, Adobe has spent a lot of time listening to authors about
    ways to make their workflow easier. The presentations were made by
    Akshay Madan, Adobe Product Manager for RoboHelp. He and his team
    have obviously been busy! Here's a recap:
    1. What struck me right away was a multiple document
    interface (MDI). You can work nicely among any number of topics
    that are open and displayed in tabs. I'm glad to see that they are
    not planning to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The popular
    and friendly Word-like WYSIWYG editor is still central to the main
    work area. You still feel like a writer and not a coder (no offense
    to programmers).
    2. At the same time, the UI is more modern and cleanly laid
    out. There are also customizeable toolbars and "pods" that can be
    moved around and configured the way the author works. These
    configurations can be given a name so for example, an author can
    have a layout for authoring sessions and one for editing sessions.
    3. These movable panels or pods are handy, but I also like
    that you can quickly return to "factory defaults" in case the
    layout becomes too fragmented.
    4. No <kadov> tags! These much-maligned tags are often
    used by competitors to bad-mouth RoboHelp. Well, they'll have to
    come up with something else because I saw nice clean,
    color-customizable code behind the WYSIWYG editor.
    5. There is also Unicode and double-byte support for
    something like 34 different languages including Asian and Eastern
    European characters.
    6. For single sourcing, the author can create multiple TOCs
    and name them so that they are easy to use when generating output
    for different audiences (or for print vs. online).
    7. Help for translators: Because of MDI, a translator can
    have an English topic open in a pane side-by-side with a Japanese
    topic for easier comparison and editing. Languages can also be
    mixed. So, I can have Japanese, Greek or any number of words or
    phrases mixed within a topic. The same is true for the TOC, Index
    of keywords or Glossary of terms and definitions.
    8. Snippets of HTML code make it easy to have chunks of text
    and graphics saved for re-use. For example a logo graphic and
    copyright statement can be saved and placed in multiple topics. If
    you change the logo or text in the snippet, the changes are
    populated wherever the snippet has been placed (kind of like
    RoboHelp 6's User Defined Variables on steroids).
    9. Breadcrumbs offer a nice touch for the user experience
    with links that show the user where they are in the heirarchy of
    topics.
    10. Searching in WebHelp/Flashhelp: When searching, the "hit"
    terms are highlighted in a color of the author's choosing. This can
    easily be turned off by the user as well.
    11. Much improved Framemaker MIF support. Matthew Stern was
    at STC and was impressed. "You can import a MIF file directly into
    RoboHelp and everything is retained: variables, graphics (including
    Flash and Acrobat 3D files), and conditional text."
    12. There is support for MS Vista and Office 2007 including
    the new XML-based .docx format, (though this was not yet enabled in
    the pre-alpha build I saw.)
    13. Better Screen capture manipulation within topics.
    14. Adobe representatives also said there would be news
    posted on the
    Adobe TechComm Blog
    with invitations to sign up for the beta program when it gets
    underway.
    After using RoboHelp since 1992, I get caught up in the
    feature race like everyone else. But, as Vivek Jain, Group Product
    Manager for RoboHelp said, features are not the only thing that
    define innovation. Rather he says, "Quality is innovation."
    This should put a rest to the "RoboHelp is dead" garbage.
    As a user and instructor since 1992 it was very satisfying
    and exciting to see these sneak peeks and that Adobe is not only
    bringing RoboHelp back to life, but making it a central piece of
    the suite of applications that make up the Technical Communications
    (RoboHelp, Framemaker, Captivate and Acrobat).
    Sneaks peeks were also shown for Adobe Framemaker 8 and Adobe
    Captivate 3 as well. The sneak peeks were introduced with the usual
    caveats, such as,“The features presented during the
    Technology Sneak peek contain proof of concept features and
    features in the development pipeline. They are not final for the
    next release however we want to take this opportunity to show the
    general direction of where we are taking the products.” They
    also mentioned that while they cannot comment about release dates,
    they "expect to see new releases this year." However, from what I
    saw, this pre-alpha build looked stable and rich with the
    functionality I've outlined.
    It's an exciting time for technical communicators!

    Hi all,
    That certainly looks like a promising list of possible
    enhancements. :-)
    I've been putting off switching to Flare for a few reasons
    (for me, the user friendliness of the editor doesn't appeal) and
    have been hoping that Adobe would pick up on RoboHelp and develop
    it further.
    RoboHelp's ease of use just seems to allow me to concentrate
    more on creating content and that has always been its major
    advantage.
    Maybe I'm just getting lazy, and I know all software has its
    foibles, but spending time fighting with an editor to get the
    output to look and behave how I want is not where I want to be.
    Even the great RoboHelp kadov debate doesn't bother me so long as
    the output works, but, if they can get rid of proprietary tags so
    the code is more compliant - brilliant.
    The X6 release came across as a first step but not
    necessarily a needed upgrade - the stuff they're talking about for
    the next release looks much more promising, and definitely feels
    like a reason to hang on with RoboHelp a while longer.
    By the way, does anyone know if the X6 version still strips
    out meta tags from source when you produce output files? The
    feature list of X6 didn't prompt me to upgrade immediately, but X5
    gives me a world of hurts with metatags, and that could actually be
    something that could get me to shell out some dosh for the X6
    version rather than wait for what looks like a major new release.
    Sorry for being lazy and not installing the trial to see, but
    I'm a bit tight on project time so if anyone knows I'd really
    appreciate it. Thanks.
    PS - something that made me laugh out loud this morning:
    "One of the most interesting requests from customers at the
    STC Conference Minneapolis was for a migration path from Flare to
    RoboHelp. Clearly, some of the customers, who had migrated from
    RoboHelp to Flare, want to come back to RoboHelp."
    http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/robohelp
    The MadCap people seem very helpful, but some of their
    marketing comes across as too pushy, so that blog really made me
    smile. Maybe Adobe are almost 'too'big', but with the new release
    talk, it looks like things might be about to get interesting again.
    Cheers

    As Marian has astutely observed, post-CS5.5 and the introduction of the new upgrade policy, these drip fed sneak peeks are now less about trying to convince us to upgrade and more about feature freeze.
    What's the feature(s) that'll get the Twitterverse trending hot enough for Adobe to shelve further new features until CS7?
    We must remain underwhelmed at all times in order to encourage further innovation.
    I seem to be in the minority, but I don't buy into that idea.  It makes perfect sense for Adobe not to reveal too much too early about the CS6 features.
    On the one hand, it would be foolish to show all their cards to competitors too early in the game, for fear of copy-cat features. I know people keep saying that PS has no serious competition, but that could change in a hurry. 
    On the other hand, developers have to iron out any serious bugs in the new features before the product is released.  Sometimes even with carefully scripted development cycles and passionate developers who work 16 hour days and on weekends, some show-stopping bug can turn up that can't be fixed by the planned release date. The only options are to postpone the product release, or leave out the feature. It would cause a lot of disappointment to announce new features and raise the customers' expectations too early, only to have to renege later on.
    Of course. Agreed.
    The traditional titillation tactics of drip feeding and slow reveal for a new version in progress to try and kickstart the buzz still serve a purpose but Adobe is creating its own mountain to climb.
    The greatest competition for the next version of Photoshop is always previous versions of Photoshop. Convincing people who are still getting used to CS4 and CS5 to upgrade to CS6 is not trivial. That's always been the case because Photoshop usually sets its own benchmarks. For that, we can applaud Adobe.
    But Adobe's board obviously feels that the lure of new features alone in each new version is not strong enough to keep the share price going North. Hence the ill conceived one version back policy.
    But times are changing and by Adobe painting its users into a corner with unpopular forced upgrades, its simultaneously creating an exponentially greater sense of expectation for each new version.
    "OK if we're prisoners in the upgrade cycle and we must upgrade for big bucks with every new version, then we demand far greater value for money than ever before. Turn the volume up to 11 every time".

  • The future playstations

    Hello, my name is Hamad Ali, im the boss of Sony and i am here today to bring to light what the future playstations hold for younow there is a very difficult matter when it comes down to the products you buy, especially playstations, since it is a gaming console, and a very good one in that category, the question remains that you keep wondering or go through thoughts through your daily life like, maybe this should be the end of the gaming console or they should come out forever, and but this gives me such a nice feeling. What this really means is that you need a solution, and the answer is the same ideas used in the gaming consoles, repeating themselves in bigger and better ways after all the particular gaming consoles are released. So this is what the future playstations are going to be like Playstation 3: comes with a camera accessory and 3d glasses (stereoscopic 3d), and also playstation movePlaystation 4: comes with a better camera accessory which makes the graphics better and also playstation move, 3d glasses are supported on all gamesPlaystation 5: projects 2 images in front of your eyes inside your eye and causes an illusion which causes you to see them as if they were being projected from a device like a projector, this is possible through an accessory.all the playstations will becoming with reverse playback, just different accessories
    you can play older games with new technologiesPlaystation 6: will come with a virtual reality head set, it will cause a really big screen in front of your eyes even though you will be looking at it through the virtual reality head set which is the glasses, this will be the accessoryPlaystation 7: will come with a virtual reality head set that can project 3 screens, one in front and two on the sides, this will be the accessory.Playstation 8:  will come with energy creating or you may say visualizing triggers or gadgets which will cause you to sit inside a force field of the game and notice everything that is happening in the game around you, these will be 4 gadgets then the revoultion will come
    this is when these above processes repeat them selves in a bigger better way.

    As designers, we need to consider more than just whether to save in PDF or EPS. First you need to be aware of industry norms for the type of artwork you are making. For example, packaging designs for corrugated boxes, corrugated displays and folding cartons, should be done in Illustrator. That program acommodates large sizes, easily incorporates dielines, and there are 3rd party plugins providing tools needed for those types or products. Also edits are required 9 out of 10 times so a flattened PDF or EPS will not do. Second, you may not know what equipment and software the printer is using which may not be compatible with certain files.
    Doing preflight for all new files we receive at my company, I have to reject some and ask for different formats. I get a number of PDFs that we can't use, even with our PDF editing program, and some EPS files dont work either.
    So what I'm saying is don't be adamant on providing only one type of file. Communicate with the printer to find out what is best.
    But my opinion on PDF versus EPS - because of transparency, I would always choose PDF over EPS.

  • The Future of Flash

    In light of the recent announcement of continued support and upgrades for Flash, I've been thinking more about the future of Flash in the new HTML 5 oriented climate, with more browsers shunning the use of Flash, particularly on the mobile platforms.
    Now, I do think that HTML 5 is a good step forward, and it certainly should replace Flash for video content, especially considering that Flash only really dominated that space because of the lack of better support through HTML in the first place. However, on the other hand I also see Flash as a potential champion of these new technologies, as it has very mature support, and (if we ignore uncertain plugin support), it's still a great platform for games, animations, and cross-platform apps.
    The way I see it though is that Flash has essentially two core technologies. The first is ActionScript, which I don't believe would be hard at all (certainly not for Adobe) to repurpose as a language for writing Javascript. In fact, I'm under the impression that ActionScript has essentially been an extension of Javascript anyway, so a lot of these capabilities may already be in place, which means a lot of the ActionScript APIs need not be hard to port at all.
    Second is the vector graphics capabilities. Now, I expect these would be a bit more difficult to port into an HTML 5 setting, but with ever improving Javascript performance it seems possible that a set of Flash vector libraries could be created that can run directly in the browser, without requiring a plugin. Combined with the current editor for making it easy to build vector content, I think that such a capability would become very popular.
    To me this would seem an ideal future for Flash, as it would position the Flash editor as a great way to develop games and animations for the HTML 5 web, and allow Flash Builder to continue to be used for ever more complex apps drawing on the capabilities of Flash and Flex. After all, Adobe's money comes from the Flash and Flash Builder, rather than the plugins and players. As a result it seems like eliminating these in favour of a set of HTML 5 Flash libraries would be a really great way to allow the wealth of existing content to go forward, and to keep new developers interested, as it would eliminate the uncertainty at the future of Flash.
    Forgive me if this has already been discussed at length; I did try a search but couldn't find anything that seemed similar. But while I'm not a Flash fanatic, I think there is a clear, and strong position for Flash in the HTML 5 web, without the need to try and compete.

  • The future of java and what is the most necessary skill to learn

    hi, friends,
    This is a serious question, so please answer seriously.
    1. The future of java
    Are there any future for java? What I mean are: are there any jobs for java developer in the future? are there any chances for new java company to survive?
    2. What is the most needed skill in so many java technology?
    There are so many sections in java technology. so what is the most needed one for one to find a job? what is the most promising section for one to build a company.
    Thank your very much!

    It's a lousy question really.
    1) There are very few companies you'd call a 'java company'. There are companies that use java, but they also by and large use C++, DBMS systems, and a whole host of other technologies. If java died, they'd switch to whatever technology killed it. Any decent programmer is flexible enough to learn a new language in a matter of weeks. It's the ability to work with the theory behind the code rather than the knowledge of syntax that's important.
    2) It depends entirely on what you're doing. Working with a company where databases are key? Then you need Oracle, or SQL. Working with web technology? Perl, JSP, PHP, stuff like that is what you want. Working in high performance application design? You need C++. Graphics? Take a look at OpenGL or Java3d.
    The most promising section to build a company? If there was a straight answer to that 1000 companies would have sprung up already and filled the niche.
    Basically, if you want a successful career in programming, don't become a java programmer, become a programmer full stop. If you think you'll be working with java when you retire in 40-odd years you're mistaken. You need to grasp the basic concepts of application and algorithm design, and be quick to learn new technologies and evaluate them against what exists already.
    It can take 3 years to go from complete newbie to fluent in a single programming language. It can then take less than 3 days to become fluent in another.

  • Adobe Audition CS6 sneak peek

    Hi everyone,
    I invite everyone to take a look at a little sneak peek video of Audition CS6 over at http://adobe.ly/H1hDCa
      In this sneak, we show off some of the new functionality implemented for CS6 including Clip Grouping and Automatic Speech Alignment.  (You may have seen some tech demos of the latter at some industry events or online last year.)  Eagle-eyed viewers may find a bit more!

    Edited message with shorter link.

    Acquistai, a suo tempo, l'aggiornamento del programma  Adobe Audition CS6, essendo già in possesso della versione CS5.5. Poichè ho dovuto rifare il sistema operativo (windows 7 professional a 64 bit), reistallando il programma CS6, con il relativo serial number in mio possesso, ho notato un mal funzionamento e cioè:
    importando un motivo musicale  e avviando il programma, cliccando su play, non mi riproduce nessun  motivo o canzone pur essendo in funzione.
    Ho reinstallato il programma,ma senza risultato alcuno. Cosa devo fare? Grazie.

  • Why should I buy Toshiba in the future?

    I want to ask what is the point of buying Toshiba for the future? What should motivate me? I know that their laptops have quite cheap price for the products they include, but with such a terrible support?
    I have Qosmio F50-125. I bought it 3 years ago. Since I bought it, the DRIVER support was TERRIBLE. For all those 3 years, they released for example only 1 DRIVER for the video!!! ONLY 1!!!!!! At 28/07/08 (for Vista).
    Of course there is a "New" driver for windows 7 from 2009. But that's all! When you buy a product, you expect to have a good support. Specially when Toshiba guarantee is "1 year no-matter what + 3 years abroad warrenty". You expect to have support atleast for 3 YEARS when you get a 3 year guarantee, but no, they update the drivers for the 1st year and that's all!
    +All the new updates (which are 2,3, for the Bluetooth and Wireless) are for Windows 7. This laptop is originally sold with Windows Vista. Nowhere says if there is an option for upgrade. I called and asked at Toshiba if I can upgrade it (if they provide this service) and they answered that they don't know!!!! Still no response.. And if you download the drivers from the developers page (nvidia in my case) the guarantee falls of!
    So when you buy Toshiba you get:
    Pros:
    -1 year no-matter what guarantee + 3 years abroad guarantee
    -Cheat price for relatively good laptop
    Cons:
    -NO DRIVER SUPPORT
    -Not allowed to open the computer or give it to any company to be Cleaned for avoiding HEAT problems, except Toshiba
    -Lots of Toshiba programs, that make faults to your system, one of them Toshiba Tempro - totally useless
    When I was buying this laptop it costed 1015euro. Not the cheapest, but definitely not from the expensive class. Now I'm thinking to buy a laptop for 1000-1500euro. Should I waste those money for Toshiba?
    Buy a new high-end computer, have support only for the first year and after 2 years having the same problem? If I was buying it only for studying and work, all of this wouldn't matter for me. But I'm using it for creating music, graphic designs and in the free time play games.
    P.S. I love my laptop, 3 years old, and still runs great. Photoshop, Fruity Loops, all work well + I can even play Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3. But the Airflow design....... awful. It's build in such a way, that each 3,4 months you need to clean it, to avoid +100 GPU temperature. The normal one is 90 ;) which I think is quite bad.

    Regarding the display driver support:
    I agree with you the graphic card drivers for the gaming notebooks should be released and updated regularly because most new games requires the newest driver version.
    But I noticed also, that display drivers from other notebook manufacturers are not updated regularly and in most cases the usage of original graphic drivers from GPU manufacture pages is necessary.
    > Not allowed to open the computer or give it to any company to be Cleaned for avoiding HEAT problems, except Toshiba
    I think all computer/notebook manufactures dont allow to open and to disassemble the own products. This is because the disassembling procedure is always tricky and there is a risk of part damage. I think this is understandable...
    > Lots of Toshiba programs, that make faults to your system, one of them Toshiba Tempro - totally useless
    I noticed that every notebook manufacture installs own tools and utilities in order to control the notebook features. The point is that notebooks are different to the common desktop PCs and notebooks support a lot of additional features: Eco modes, multimedia buttons, additional power saving features, HDD security options, etc
    So a preinstalled software is not really a disadvantage but of course, you can remove this from the system but this means that you would not be able to use such features.
