XML Goo-i-ness Inside">XML Goo-i-ness Inside

Microsoft pre-released their XAML-in-the-browser tech­no­logy, WPF/e earlier this week. XAML inside.
XAML “smells” like the W3C’s Scal­able Vec­tor Graph­ics (SVG). DOM-inside-a-DOM, Declar­at­ive anim­a­tion, 2D graph­ics. XAML maybe not SVG, but it cer­tainly tips its hat to SVG.
Adobe today pre-released their XML-in-a-PDF tech­no­logy, Mars, for Acrobat 8. Essen­tially, Mars as a tech­no­logy is presently delivered as plugins […]

Into that goodnight, GoLive?

Monday, September 18th, 2006

And not just with Acrobat 8. Good­bye GoLive, hello Dream­weaver 8.
GoLive Sys­tems, a small Ham­burg Mac-only developer, was pur­chased by Adobe before the dot­com boom. Sadly, it might have been the boom’s first cas­u­alty as it lan­guished behind Dream­weaver.

Forms are the key to Acrobat 8.0 Professional

Monday, September 18th, 2006

As I am no longer “inside the Adobe-loop”, I found out about the announce­ment cour­tesy of Robert Scoble’s post. Of all people!
My first ques­tion: where is the beta of the Reader? With Acrobat 7.0, the beta Reader shipped very close to the announce. Also, Intel Mac users; I am assum­ing its Uni­ver­sal bin­ary, as […]

RC1 OK on Parallels 1896.2 (and Acrobat 8)">Vista RC1 OK on Parallels 1896.2 (and Acrobat 8)

Anyway:
