Web developers vs "real developers" - There are millions of people in the world, building applications that will be used by many more millions of customers, who don't have computer science degrees and do not program in Java or C/C++. Shocking, I know, but I'm told it's true. They use C...

New Role and Leaving Adobe - In light of Andrew Shorten's blog post yesterday (http://www.ashorten.com/2009/11/03/new-role-at-adobe/) I suppose it's time for me to make an official comment about where I am and what I'm doing. I've left Adobe to accept a new position covering pr...

Ghosts of MAX (and DevCon) Past - A decade of this, huh? Well, I can say I remember... Watching the 2000 election results come in (showing Gore beat Bush) while at the party at Union Station. Good morning developer with Eileen. Tower of Terror. Agent B, double-oh B. Ag...

SF CFUG tonight - The CF9/Flash Builder 4 user group tour stops in San Francisco tonight and I happen to be in town, so I'll be there too! Come hear Ben Forta discuss and demo the next CF server, Bolt (the upcoming CF IDE), and FB4. Fun for the whole family! http:/...

Desperately seeking Debbie - UPDATE: Thanks so much to everyone who sent me a note. I expected a handful of developers and received dozens! At this point I have enough volunteers. Stay tuned, though - after we complete the investigation I'll share some of the results here. T...

InfoWorld "First Look" - Today InfoWorld posted a "first look" beta review of Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder. Check it out here. Good comments on the data-centric features, " Builder 4's new data service wizard makes very quick work of importing and introspecting back-en...

Flash Builder 4 Beta is here - It was an exciting (and late night) last night watching as the Flash Builder 4 Beta became available on Adobe Labs (at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/). We're all extremely proud of this preview and can't wait to see what you build...

Gumbo will be Flash Builder 4 - but you already know that! - Looks like the proverbial cat is already out of the bag on this, but due to some technical difficulties last night this post never appeared. Alas, it sounds as though the reaction from folks has been positive! So, here's my take on the new name for...

CF & Flex User Study in SF - Hi, Adobe is conducting an in-person user study on using the next version of Flex with ColdFusion to create data driven applications. The sessions will be conducted at Adobe's San Francisco office on March 31, so we're looking for some local CF'er...

How will CF/Flex work in FB4? - Thanks to the more than 300 folks who signed up to be in our pre-release to start testing the Flex/ColdFusion workflow planned for our upcoming release. I've just passed along names to our pre-release program manager, so you should be receiving an i...

CF and the future of Flex - Since MAX last fall we've been showing off a new set of features in the upcoming version of Flex Builder aimed at making it much easier for data-centric web developers to deliver rich Flash user interfaces atop their existing server-side logic. A hu...

Max wrap-up (not really) - I went straight from MAX into two full days of meetings in the Adobe San Francisco office, so I don't quite feel like I've had a chance to unwind and reflect. But I can say that MAX 2008 North America was a great event. Our best attendance ever at ...

The Future in Boston - As soon as I finish up MAX 2008 in San Francisco and Milan, I'm very glad to have the opportunity to speak at the second Flex Camp Boston (http://www.flexcampboston.com/) taking place December 12 from 8am-5pm at Bentley College, Waltham. Last year's...

Flex Future at MAX - We're nearly there - MAX 2008! I'll be attending here in SF next week, as well as in Milan next month and Tokyo in January. I did want to take a moment out of the hectic schedule of keynote rehearsals, pre-release testing, session reviews, etc. to ...
