Macromedia.com DEFACED!

No need to hurry, my guess is this defacement will be permanent. Ok.. So it wasnt really a defacement, but it sure feels like it to me. I have loved Macromedia software (Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks) and I hate to see the Adobe name on their site. I hope that Adobe keeps these titles alive!

cold fusion was a product of allaire... who macromedia bought... and java'd it. I still run on CF4.5 pre java.

Anyway, Flash is awesome (it beat LiveMotion by far)... and now so is Dreamweaver (after taking ideas/parts from CF Studio).

Wasn't a merger. Adobe bought them. Check any financial resources for details.

Flash is awesome and pretty easy to work in.

Dreamweaver is great for the WYSIWYG audience.

Not sure about their other products.

I used Cold Fusion 4.5 back when I worked for another company. It was a great product then.

I can understand loathing flash websites. Flash has its place though and can be great for presentations and other multimedia things. It's awesome at what it does though.
 
I always liked Dreamweaver, but I don't care for any of the other products made by the company formery known as Macromedia.

Dreamweaver is the number 1 application for webdesigner professionals. to say WYSIWYG audience would be incorrect.



 
man i remember back when i was in high school using dreamweaver, fireworks, flash. All great programs.
 
And the good news in all this:

"How long will it take to integrate Flash Player and Adobe Reader? It will be a multiyear effort. Ultimately, our goal is to combine both in a single client. Combining PDF and Adobe Reader with Flash and the Flash Player will allow us to deliver a truly ubiquitous platform that sits on virtually every device. We will build on that to create compelling customer solutions."

Too bad it will take so long. I install both plugins on my systems so having it as 1 plugin instead will be nice.
 
This actually saddens me. I've always hated Acrobat for being incredibly bloated, and a pootastic way to distribute documents. I understand why companies do, but still.
 
I don't want Fireworks to go away. But I doubt they will keep the products that directly compete with the adobe ones.
 
I've been trying to ask this on the Macromedia CF forums but it keeps erroring when I try to post... so I'll ask here since there seems to be a few CF users...

when doing a CFQUERY with maxrows... does that actually make the query run faster ? Or is it a negligible difference ?

after making cold fusion java-based, it just didn't seem as snappy and just not so... good. that's probably why my former employer opted not to upgrad to anything past CF 4.5 (it was, and still is, a pretty high-volume site)...

CF does have it's place, but i don't think it's for anything bigger than a small to medium-sized site, but that's just my opinion

Dreamweaver is great tho 🙂
